90% Pure chocolate bar with MCT oil

NoordCode Organic Pure Chocolate is a chocolate bar with 90% cocoa solids, MCT oil for energy and cocoa nibs for extra crunch. The high-quality, tasty cocoa means little extra sugar is needed and each bar contains only 2.5 g of sugar.

The bar contains 90% cocoa, but tastes milder and less bitter than other dark chocolate bars with this cocoa content. NoordCode Organic Pure Chocolate is thus a tasty, responsible snack for chocolate lovers.

Organic, single origin Criollo cocoa

NoordCode uses organic Criollo cocoa from the Tumaca region in Colombia. Criollo cocoa is known for its unique, rich flavour which is held as the highest standard of quality. Only 5% of the world's cocoa comes from Criollo cocoa trees. Its production and processing is completely focused on maintaining its outstanding flavour.

As with coffee and wine, cocoa has unique flavours depending on where it grows. With single origin cocoa, you can then really enjoy that.

Fino de Aroma cocoa

The International Cocoa Organisation (ICCO) awards the "Fino de Aroma" label to cocoa with outstanding flavour. The cocoa in NoordCode Organic Pure Chocolate carries the "Fino de Aroma" hallmark and comes into its own in this 90% cocoa chocolate bar.

Bean to bar production

NoordCode uses cocoa powder made according to the bean to bar concept. Bean to bar means that the chocolate producer controls all processing steps from the cocoa (bean) to the chocolate bar (bar). The producer has a direct relationship with cocoa farmers and pays a fair price for cocoa. This allows farmers to focus on producing superior cocoa in a sustainable way.

High polyphenol content through minimal processing

Cocoa is known as a superfood, partly due to its high content of beneficial plant compounds (polyphenols). The usual processing of cocoa reduces the amount of polyphenols. Especially when roasting and alkalising, many polyphenols are lost.

NoordCode opts for maximum preservation of polyphenols by not roasting and alkalising the cocoa. This allows the cocoa to retain its natural flavour profile, which is very different from 'normal' cocoa powder. Raw cocoa has a lighter colour and more bitter flavours, which come from the polyphenols. You also taste some sour flavours, because the cocoa is not alkalised. This together gives the cocoa powder more depth and a unique flavour.

Cocoa polyphenols for normal blood circulation

Flavanols from cocoa help maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, contributing to normal blood circulation. This effect applies when you consume 200 mg of flavanols from cocoa daily.

NoordCode confirms through independent testing of their cocoa that one bar of Pure Chocolate contains over 450 mg of flavanols. Therefore, you can enjoy the effects of cocoa polyphenols with half a bar per day.

Lab-tested for mycotoxins and heavy metals

The cocoa has been checked for ochratoxins and aflatoxins, two mycotoxins commonly found on low-quality cocoa beans. The cocoa is also tested for and free of heavy metals.

No milk, gluten, palm oil or artificial ingredients have been added to the chocolate. With NoordCode Organic Pure Chocolate, you are assured of a healthy, high-quality chocolate bar that suits vegan and paleo diets.
