70% Cocoa content - A combination of cocoa liquor and cocoa butter. The latter is there to coat each individual cocoa and sugar particle, allowing the chocolate to melt beautifully and cleanly in the mouth, revealing intense, bittersweet chocolate aromas. We select only the finest organic ingredients and take extra time and care to bring out the intense flavor that has become our trademark. Suitable for vegetarians & vegans. Made on a peanut free site. USDA organic. Green & Black's is certified organic by the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF). Made in Italy.
This review is from: Green & Black\'s Organic Chocolate Bar, 70% Cocoa, 3.5-Ounce Bars (Pack of 10)Be careful what supplier you select. It shouldn't be Nutricity. From Amazon, the G&B bars (made in Canada) arrive promptly; I've ordered them several times and will again. My first (and last) order from Nutricity, however, arrived a month after the order had been placed, and then only after an inquiry to the seller. The bars were dry, stale and hard, the color of cocoa powder rather than chocolate bars. Although the bars still had 10 months to go before expiration of the sell-by date on the wrappers, they were a disgrace to the good name of G&B. It may be that they had been stored improperly, or that the single paper wrapper used in the Italian plant (the Canadian maker uses an inner foil wrap) allowed too much air to get to the bars. I'll grind them for hot chocolate, but they are unsuitable for eating directly and very similar in quality to the bars one sometimes finds at mass-market outlets that resell overstock from other retailers....
This review is from: Green & Black\'s Organic Chocolate Bar, 70% Cocoa, 3.5-Ounce Bars (Pack of 10)It's interesting to read that some reviewers are saying the bars contain GMO ingredients.The information is erroneous. Green & Black's does not use GMO soy lecithin or any other GMO ingredient.This is taken directly from their website:Are your products GM-free? Yes - as all of our products are certified by the Soil Association, this ensures no genetically modified (GM) ingredients are used in their production.Just FYI, the Soil Association is the UK equivalent of the NOP here in the US, the organic certification body.They're very strict....
This review is from: Green & Black\'s Organic Chocolate Bar, 70% Cocoa, 3.5-Ounce Bars (Pack of 10)Dark chocolate has been well established now to have major heart-health benefits. Only 20 grams (just over 0.7 of an ounce) per day will halve your risk of heart attack, which is a pretty impressive achievement for a chocolate bar!But there is an important caveat here. One of the things I like best about the version of this product that I buy here in Australia is that it has no dairy in it at all. From a health perspective this is very important. Dairy foods block absorption of some of the beneficial phytochemicals in chocolate (the flavanols in particular), which is why eating dark, as opposed to milk chocolate is so important.HOWEVER, from the ingredients listed on the Amazon product page, the product on sale here DOES contain whole milk powder. The fact that whole (as opposed to skim) milk products are used renders this an especially bad choice, since whole milk products have been found to be more potent in blocking absorbtion of the beneficial flavanols.All this is a great pity because otherwise I consider this a very fine chocolate. So it may be worth your while to continue watching this space. My hope is that the version on sale here on Amazon will ultimately be replaced with a dairy-free alternative, just as it has been in Australia.Theo....
