Solomons Gold Dark Orange 70% is an organic dark chocolate that combines 70% cacao from the Solomon Islands with natural orange flavor, creating an elegant balance between cacao depth and refreshing citrus brightness. The flavor profile opens with intense cacao notes layered with fruity and earthy undertones characteristic of the islands’ terroir, followed by bright, juicy hints of orange.
This fusion delivers complexity - starting with the bitterness and richness of dark chocolate, moving through mid-tones of red fruit and mineral accents, and finishing with a clean citrus clarity. On the nose, deep cacao aromas are complemented by the refreshing scent of orange zest.
The texture is smooth and silky, with a gradual melt that allows the flavors to unfold in sequence, highlighting both the natural sweetness and acidity of the fruit. The bar is crafted with a minimal list of ingredients - organic cacao and organic coconut sugar, enriched with natural orange flavor - free from additives, dairy, gluten, or soy, making it suitable for vegans.
Producer
Solomons Gold is a New Zealand chocolate brand that exclusively uses cacao from the Solomon Islands, crafted under the single origin and farm-to-bar principles. It began as an initiative to revitalize abandoned cacao plantations and support local farmers, and today it works with more than 90 farming communities.
The beans are grown without chemicals, in biodiverse agroforestry systems, and the fermentation and drying processes are carefully controlled to preserve a clean and authentic flavor profile. Chocolate production takes place in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand, where small-batch bars are made with a minimal number of ingredients - most often just cacao and organic coconut sugar.
Their bars are known for their intense, rich cacao notes, often complemented by fruity and mineral undertones that reflect the unique terroir of the Solomon Islands. By combining premium quality, artisanal precision, and social responsibility, Solomons Gold has become a symbol of ethical and authentic chocolate that tells the story of its origin and the communities behind it.
