Larger producers often purchase pre-processed cacao powder and butter to mix into the chocolate. With 'bean-to-bar' chocolate, the chocolatier buys the beans directly from the farmers and processes them into chocolate themselves. As a result, the chocolatier has a much greater influence on the flavour and quality of the chocolate.
Cacao beans are naturally rich in polyphenols and other beneficial compounds. The usual processing of cacao beans into chocolate bars reduces the amount of polyphenols. Especially when roasting and alkalizing cacao, many polyphenols are lost.
NoordCode opts for maximum preservation of polyphenols by not roasting and alkalizing the cacao, thus preserving all valuable substances, such as antioxidants and minerals.
Flavanols from cocoa help maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, contributing to normal blood circulation. This effect applies when you consume 200 mg of flavanols from cocoa daily.
We have confirmed through independent testing of our cocoa that one bar of Pure Chocolate contains 798 mg of flavanols. Therefore, you can enjoy the effects of cocoa polyphenols with a bit more than one chunk per day.
NoordCode Pure Chocolate is made from 'Fino de Aroma' Criollo cacao from the Tumaco region in Colombia (single origin). Like wine and coffee, cacao has a unique taste that depends on the region where it is grown. Criollo cacao is softer and less acidic than other cacao varieties.
'Fino de Aroma' is a quality mark of the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO), awarded to cacao with excellent flavour and aroma. Only 6-8% of all cacao worldwide is awarded this quality mark.
Until recently, we used certified organic Criollo cocoa from Tumaco – a rare, single-origin “Fino de Aroma” cocoa that excels in taste and polyphenol content. Due to a shortage of this specific cocoa, supply has become irregular and the price has risen sharply.
In our search for alternatives, we found nothing that matches Criollo cocoa from Tumaco. Even without organic certification, this Criollo continues to excel in flavour and polyphenol content.
One advantage of organic chocolate is the peace of mind it offers about pesticides. To offer that same peace of mind, we have our new cocoa extensively tested in an independent laboratory.
Whereas the organic variety was tested for heavy metals, mycotoxins and mould, the new cocoa has also been tested for pesticides. This way, we guarantee that you can continue to enjoy pure, powerful chocolate with the same familiar taste and functional value. Without a quality mark, with a quality promise.

"Deze chocola is echt goddelijk. Ik wist niet zo goed wat ik moest verwachten van de smaak, meestal koop ik de 70% pure chocola van de supermarkt maar dat kan je echt niet vergelijken met deze. Deze proeft romig en de stukjes cacao erin maken het echt af. Ik eet savonds lekker 1 blokje en geniet er dan ook echt van. Echt een aanrader."
"Te goed deze"
"Excellent and exceptional chocolate. The best one on the market. Smooth and melting in mouth. So delicious and functional as always."
"Very good chocolate!"
"Dit is mijn favoriete chocolade. Echt heerlijk. Jammer dat de repen prijzig zijn."
"Lovely chocolate. Rich, dark and robust. Very satiating and the nibs add a fantastic crunch to create a truly wonderful sensory experience."
"My initial reaction was that it is extremely bitter. I am not usually a fan of dark chocolate, and this 90% tastes even more bitter than expected. That said, you do get used to it over time. I actually like to think of it as built-in portion control, since I only want to eat one square at a time. The bar itself is nicely made, solid, with chocolate flakes on the outside, and it breaks cleanly into square-sized portions. I also really appreciate that the company tests for heavy metals, mycotoxins, and pesticides."
"Een feestje voor wie van pure chocolade houdt."
"Mooi stukje pure chocolade 🙂"
