Healthy Chocolate Bars, Also Delicious, From Olivia Chocolatiers
Frustrated with the taste of healthy chocolate? Try as you might to enjoy minimally-processed chocolate for better health and pure enjoyment, you may find the taste unpleasantly bitter. Bitterness in chocolate comes from underfermented or over-roasted cocoa beans, or other missteps in the manufacturing process. (You may have noticed something similar happens with coffee beans). As a result, many people associate fine, high-quality, high cocoa content chocolate with bitterness, when that doesn’t have to be the case.
Enter Olivia Chocolat, one of Canada’s newest and finest chocolate makers. Not only does Olivia Chocolate produce fine, dark, “bean-to-bar” chocolate bars. Founder David MacDonald developed a way to remove any natural bitterness from chocolate to produce a smooth, unrefined, pleasantly sweet taste. This is sure to satisfy anyone interested in exploring dark chocolate, but who may be uneasy with the bitterness.
With each batch of chocolate taking 10 days to prepare, Olivia Chocolatiers is a small-but-growing chocolate company that incorporates local ingredients into their offerings such as maple sugar from Quebec. They currently distribute their chocolate throughout Ontario and Quebec.
What’s next? In addition to producing more delicious chocolate, Olivia is working on a chocolate recipe for diabetics using low-glycemic palm sugar. Another healthy chocolate success!
