Prague Chocolate - Aluna 77% Organic Dark, Colombia

Ranked in the Top 100 Chocolates in the World. Single-origin Colombian cacao, sweetened with coconut sugar. Clean, direct dark chocolate. Above-the-fold callout This is the Aluna bar for people who want dark chocolate to taste of one thing: chocolate. 77% single-origin Colombian cacao, sweetened with coconut sugar rather than refined, with none of the roast-heavy bitterness that makes higher percentages a chore. Earth, plum, a little floral lift, and cocoa over all of it — plainly and without theatrics. Origin & Craftsmanship The beans are the Aluna line's constant: ancient criollo — the variety that goes back to the Maya and the Aztecs — crossed with the sturdier trinitario, grown on a single family farm in Colombia and bought direct. Prague Chocolate keeps the recipe deliberately short, cocoa beans and cocoa butter sweetened only with low-glycaemic coconut sugar, then does the slow work in their own workshop: gentle roast, stone milling, no alkalisation, no palm oil, and a long conche that softens the bar without stripping the origin out of it. Three ingredients, one farm, no shortcuts. Flavor Profile The maker calls it clear, simple and direct, and that's the right description. You taste the earthiness of the Colombian soil first, then plum and a faint floral note, and underneath it a deep, unfussy cocoa. The coconut sugar rounds the finish so the 77% reads as balanced rather than austere — a proper everyday dark for someone who has moved past milk but doesn't want to fight their chocolate. Tasting & Pairing Guide Let a square melt slowly and the plum and earth open up before the cocoa settles in. It's a natural next to a black filter coffee or a medium-bodied red — a Malbec or a young Rioja echoes the plum without crowding it. For a food pairing, fresh figs, walnuts, or an aged hard cheese all bridge the earthy register. This is also the Aluna bar to keep in the drawer for the everyday square after dinner. Summary The Aluna 77% is Prague Chocolate at their most unpretentious: one Colombian farm, three ingredients, coconut sugar instead of cane, made bean-to-bar in Prague. Earthy, plummy, clean, and genuinely easy to eat. The dark bar for the person who wants quality without ceremony.
