85% Dark Chocolate Bar – Ultimate Bitter, 2 x 50g | Anuttama

Anuttama's 85% bar sits near the bitter end of their range — a bean-to-bar dark chocolate with a trace of natural jaggery and nothing else added. It is aimed at people who already eat 70–80% bars and want less sweetness still. Two 50g bars per pack.

Key Features

• 85% cocoa: intensely bitter with a long, dry finish
• Minimal sweetening: a small amount of natural jaggery, no refined sugar
• Cocoa from Dakshina Kannada, processed bean to bar in small batches
• No artificial flavours, added oils, preservatives or additives
• Dairy-free and suitable for a plant-based diet

Ingredients

Cocoa beans, cocoa butter, natural jaggery.

How to Enjoy It

Start with a single square on an unrushed palate. Because there is so little sugar, drinking water first and letting the piece melt makes the difference between tasting bitterness and tasting the bean.

Product Details

• Net quantity: 2 bars × 50 g

Good to Know

Made in a facility that also handles nuts and milk. A white bloom can form if the bar gets warm; it affects appearance and snap, not safety.

FAQs

Is 85% too bitter for someone new to dark chocolate?

Probably. If you usually eat milk chocolate, the 62% or 70% bars are a gentler starting point.

How does it differ from the 80% bar?

Less jaggery and more cocoa mass, so the bitterness is sharper and the finish drier and longer.

Can I cook or bake with it?

Yes. Chopped into a ganache or a hot drink it gives a deep cocoa base, though you will want to add your own sweetener.

Is the Anuttama 85% dark chocolate vegan and dairy-free?

Yes. The Anuttama 85% bar contains only cocoa beans, cocoa butter and natural jaggery, with no milk solids, so it is dairy-free and suitable for a plant-based diet. Note it is made in a facility that also handles nuts and milk.

Is the Anuttama 85% dark chocolate sugar-free?

No. It contains a small amount of natural jaggery, so it is not sugar-free, though it has no refined white sugar. It is the least sweet of the Anuttama bars on EarthBased apart from the 99%.

How much does the Anuttama 85% dark chocolate cost per bar?

The pack is ₹430 for two 50 g bars, so ₹215 per bar or 100 g in total. The 70% and dates 70% packs are the same price, so choose by bitterness rather than budget.

How does 85% compare with the Anuttama 70% and dates bars?

The 85% is sharply bitter with a long dry finish and minimal jaggery. The 70% jaggery bar is a balanced middle ground, and the dates 70% is sweetened only with dates for a softer, caramel-like sweetness.

How should I store the 85% dark chocolate in Indian summer?

Keep it cool, dry and out of sunlight, but do not refrigerate. If the bar gets warm a white bloom can appear, which changes the look and snap but not the safety of the chocolate.
