The World's Best Dark Chocolate 2024

Ranked in the Top 100 Chocolates in the World.

Origin & Craftsmanship
Crafted by artisan chocolatier Vigdis Rosenkilde, this bar is made from rare Chuncho cacao beans grown at a single-family agro-ecological plantation in the hillside commune of Quellouno, Cusco, Peru. The beans are processed with utmost care—minimal flavor masking, no additives—so the terroir and age of the trees (many over 80 years old) shine through. 

Flavor Profile
This 70% cacao bar is celebrated for its complex flavor signature: forest berries, pecan nut, and cream dominate the tasting notes, with hints of green apple, plums, vanilla, yellow melon and banana in some batches.  The texture is smooth, the bitterness restrained—allowing the cacao’s natural character to present elegantly.

Accolades & Recognition
Quellouno 70% was declared “the best dark chocolate bar in the world” by International Chocolate Awards in 2024. 

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a square of this bar rest on your tongue and melt slowly. First enjoy the rich cocoa depth, then allow the berry-berry and nutty undertones to emerge, followed by the lingering creamy finish. Pair it with a bright red wine such as Pinot Noir or a mellow Tawny Port to echo the fruit and nut tones. For a non-alcoholic match, a high-quality oolong tea or light roasted coffee will highlight the texture and complexity. For added texture, try it with roasted pecans or dried forest berries that mirror the flavor profile.

Summary

The Quellouno 70% bar by Vigdis Rosenkilde is a refined, terroir-driven chocolate experience—rare beans, artisanal processing and an award-winning profile. If you’re a dark chocolate lover seeking depth, elegance and authenticity, this is a standout choice.
