Manufacturer Contact Information Montezuma's Chocolates, Birdham Business Park, Birdham Road, Chichester, West Sussex, PO20 7BT, UK Review: A deeply intense chocolate for lovers of real raw cocoa—take your time with this one. - Having recently tried Montezuma’s Absolute Black 100% Cocoa bar, I feel confident in recommending it but with a caveat, this is not your typical sweet chocolate bar. Right from the first square, you notice the boldness. The aroma is notably rich, almost nutty and earthy, with no overt sweetness. As it melts, the flavour unfurls slowly raw cocoa bitterness leads the way, followed by a roasted, slightly fruity under-note, and a lingering finish that keeps you mindful you’re eating something serious. What I really appreciate is the purity: the ingredients list is simple—“dark chocolate (cocoa mass 100%)”. That said, this bar won’t be for everyone. The bitterness is intense several reviewers say it’s almost too much straight off, unless you’re very accustomed to high-percentage cocoa bars it's best when you savour a small piece slowly, let it sit on your tongue a moment, and maybe pair it with a slightly sweet or creamy food to contrast it. I also like that the brand gives context around “100% cocoa” and how they manage to retain smoothness despite the absence of sugar or fillers. Montezuma’s Absolute Black is a top-tier choice if you’re into ultra-dark, minimalist chocolate with no sugar and real cocoa intensity. But go slowly if your usual bar is 70-80% cocoa, this is a step up in both flavour strength and bitterness. Be prepared for the experience. If you do enjoy it, you’ll find a bar that feels rare and rich.

Many thanks **Q: Is the chocolate undutched (alkali processed)?** A: I contacted the makers, who stated that they DO NOT use dutched (akalised) cocoa. So this is pure 100% with no akali process. **Q: It would be great if there was an option for dark chocolate with xylitol, it's very popular and rare to find. I only bake with 100% dark chocolate.** A: Why spoil the taste by adding xylitol? This is a delicious 100% cocoa sugar free chocolate. Why not just buy a bag of xylitol on Amazon and add it yourself. **Q: Does it contain soya lecithin** A: Both the bar I have and the pictures shown online state that it contains 100% Cocoa solids and nothing else. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A deeply intense chocolate for lovers of real raw cocoa—take your time with this one. *by D***S on 12 November 2025* Having recently tried Montezuma’s Absolute Black 100% Cocoa bar, I feel confident in recommending it but with a caveat, this is not your typical sweet chocolate bar.
