Description
Old school? Absolutely!
This chocolate is very special, especially thanks to the structure!
We know the ingredients … cocoa + sugar. The operation is … different! The cacao nibs and sugar are very minimally processed, actually only partly milled. This creates a totally different structure than we are used to from chocolate as we know it, and that certainly influences the taste experience.
You can tell from the looks … it looks more like a biscuit than a chocolate bar, but it is really just cocoa (66% Madagascar) with cane sugar.
Ingredients: cacao nibs, cane sugar
May contain traces of nuts, milk, gluten & soy.
The picture indicates one version – with Madagascar cocoa. But… Soma occasionally also uses the Chuao cocoa for this bar. That can also be included, it varies a bit per version. Difficult perhaps, especially for those who like a certain version. Do you want to know which version we have? Please email first. But both are nice to get to know this very special chocolate bar!

They look somewhat like miniature charcoal briquettes and the chunks of this exceptional bar indeed warm your heart with rich notes of mocha and cardamom. While the friable texture is evocative of chocolate shortbread, this bar is only modestly sweet and more brittle than tender (if you prefer smooth chocolate, this one’s not it) . This layered consistency pairs perfectly with the earthy, complex flavor. The “Old School” bars are one of SOMA’s finest creations.

Soma is denk ik mijn favoriete chocolademaker, en ik heb er toch best wat geproefd. De smaken en het mondgevoel zijn subliem. Ik heb nog niet alles van Soma geproefd, maar deze (en Dark Fire, Arauca Colombia en Crazy 88) staan samen op mijn lijstje van absolute topfavorieten! Dit voelt een beetje als een koekje, met grove suikerkristallen en cacaodelen. Heerlijk fruitige chocolade. Dat proef je in andere chocolades wel vaker, maar dan komt het in het smelten tevoorschijn. Ik vind het steeds weer verrassend om het ook te proeven in zo’n grove ‘kauwchocolade’.
