Product Description
Indulge in a rich, pure taste of craft chocolate with Raglan Chocolate Papua New Guinea 70% 90g. This single-origin dark chocolate bar is made by the artisan team at Raglan Chocolate in Raglan, New Zealand — using whole beans sourced from the Manabo plantation in the Abau District, Central Province of Papua New Guinea. The result is a premium bean-to-bar experience that highlights the tropical fruit, raisin and nutty undertones of these exceptional beans.
Each 90 g bar is crafted with minimal ingredients: organic Manabo PNG cacao beans, organic cacao butter and organic raw sugar — nothing else. Vegan-friendly and gluten-free, it’s a chocolate for the discerning palate.
Why You’ll Love It
-
Authentic single-origin flavour: The Manabo plantation’s beans produce unique flavour notes of deep tropical fruit, raisin and a subtle nutty background — rare and refined.
-
Bean-to-bar craftsmanship: Raglan Chocolate sources beans directly from growers, roasts, grinds and forms the bar in their Raglan workshop — ensuring traceability, fairness and full flavour integrity.
-
Ethical & sustainable: The brand emphasises sustainable practices — low-waste production, direct relationships with cacao growers, plastic-free packaging — making this a conscious chocolate choice.
-
Elegant simplicity: With only three ingredients and no artificial flavours or additives, this bar puts the spotlight on pure cacao flavour, not gimmicks.
-
Perfect for gifting or everyday luxury: At 90 g, it’s sized just right for a treat or an artisanal gift experience.
Ideal for Your Lifestyle
Whether you’re seeking a moment of indulgence after a long day, offering a refined gift to a friend, or simply elevating your everyday snack, this chocolate bar fits beautifully. It appeals to chocolate connoisseurs keen to explore distinct flavour profiles and to ethically-focused consumers who care about origin and production.
For Kiwis who value local craft, supporting independent makers and premium ingredients, this bar ticks the boxes. It’s also an excellent conversation piece: talking about where the cacao comes from, how it’s sourced, and how each bite delivers a story.
How to Enjoy
-
Unwrap and let the aroma reach you before tasting — you’ll pick up fruity, raisin and nut-like aromas.
-
Break a piece and let it melt on your tongue instead of chewing immediately — this allows the complex flavours to emerge.
-
Pair with a robust red wine, a freshly brewed coffee or a craft beer for a deliberate tasting experience.
-
Use a small piece as a dessert after a meal rather than a large portion — savour the flavour.
-
Share with a friend, compare tasting notes, and enjoy the story behind the chocolate.
Storage & Care
Store in a cool, dry place (ideally 18-20 °C) away from strong odours or direct sunlight. Because the bar is made with high-quality cacao and minimal sugar, it’s best enjoyed within its recommended shelf lifecycle. Avoid refrigeration if possible, as moisture may alter texture. Keep the wrapper sealed until ready to enjoy.
