Dark Chocolate with Orange

Dark chocolate with orange, both fruity and tart

Dolfin’s dark chocolate with orange is a Belgian bar with 60% cocoa and real pieces of orange incorporated into the mass. This is not a perfumed, flavored chocolate, but tart cocoa enlivened by a sunny fruit.

Dark chocolate with orange combines the tart seriousness of a Belgian bar with the freshness of real orange. Dolfin incorporates the orange preparation directly into the 60% cocoa mass—not as a topping, but as fruit that brightens the cocoa from within. Only natural ingredients, no artificial perfume—a sunny classic that remains tart where others turn sweet.

Bitter cocoa and a splash of orange

Break off a piece, and the scent of orange peel rises before the dark cocoa even reaches your palate. Your nose already knows that real fruit is at play here.

At first, there is the tart depth of the 60% cocoa, then the orange pushes through—juicy, fruity, and sunny. Together, they create a play of warmth and freshness reminiscent of an espresso with orange zest. If you let a piece melt slowly, the orange remains a bright thread until the end, slightly bitter at the rind, and never so sweet that the fruit turns sticky.

Real orange, folded into the mass

The orange preparation makes up 3.6% of the bar and brings real fruit, accompanied by natural orange aroma. In the break, small pieces of fruit glint, and you taste them as short, juicy accents.

Dolfin calls its craft "The Art of Blending"—the art of marrying pure Belgian cocoa mass with natural ingredients. Instead of just placing the orange on top, it is worked right into the middle so that every piece tastes the same, from the first to the last. Pure cocoa butter, natural aromas, nothing else—the same care that also defines the dark chocolate with Guérande salt from the same range.

Belgian chocolate with The Art of Blending

Since 1989, Dolfin has been building a whole world of combinations in Baulers, south of Brussels, ranging from fruit to spice to nut. The pairing of dark cocoa and orange is one of the oldest friendships in the chocolate world, and Dolfin gives it a particularly clear expression.

The idea behind it is simple and sophisticated at the same time: good Belgian cocoa, honest ingredients, no shortcuts, just as Jean-Jacques de Gruben has understood it since 2007. Since 2021, the "Cocoa Act 4" program has organized work regarding people, the planet, quality, and transparency. In this way, a simple orange bar grows into a small statement of values. Well done.

A convertible on the coastal road

On the packaging of the summer edition, a couple drives a convertible down a coastal road, the sea deep below them—a small image full of the south. Sun, wind, and citrus scent—fitting for the fruity filling. Above the road, oranges hang into the frame, and the orange drives topless.

Break off a piece for an espresso or a glass of red wine—the tart-fruity note pairs well with strong aromas. Finely chopped, it works well in a chocolate cake or over an orange mousse, and for those who like it classic, serve a piece with a café au lait in the afternoon. You can find more of this in the Dolfin assortment and among the dark chocolates.
