Summary
This dark chocolate bar contains high-quality ingredients such as chocolate, cocoa powder, cocoa butter, and bourbon vanilla beans, which are minimally processed and rich in antioxidants. The product is processed, but it avoids harmful additives and uses demerara sugar, which is less refined than white sugar. The clean ingredient list and high cocoa content contribute positively to its score, although the processing level imposes a cap on the rating.
