Michel Cluizel Arcango Grand Noir 85% 70g

The rich color of the chocolate foreshadows the intensity of its taste. Arcango is created from a selected blend of cocoa beans. The woody and spicy notes that the cocoa beans from Africa give to the chocolate are followed by notes of spicy fruits (e.g. grapefruit) and flowers thanks to the beans from Central America. The bitterness of cocoa and notes of roasted coffee can be perceived in the aftertaste.

In 2021, Michel Cluizel comes with a new edition full of new recipes and attractive packaging, where he clearly states the basic taste notes of the charts and the origin of the cocoa beans. He cares about every step of making chocolate.

Exceptional quality: Michel Cluizel works closely with farmers and supports them to preserve the traditional methods of growing and fermenting cocoa beans. It ensures fair conditions for agriculture and life. To preserve specific flavors, Michel Cluizel uses long roasting at low temperatures. To achieve the unrivaled flavors of his chocolates, Cluizel often tested more than 20 combinations of fermentation and roasting methods. The actual roasting, grinding and mixing of the cocoa beans already takes place in France in Voiron.

When it comes to ingredients, Michel Cluizel really cares. He even patented the "Nobles Ingredients" trademark, which in practice means that he uses in his products:

only pure cocoa butter, without any admixtures of vegetable fats,
natural Bourbon vanilla instead of vanillin,
does not use soy lecithin or artificial flavors.
The company also guarantees that no raw materials have gone through the process of irradiation or ionization.
