Discovering Double Spiral Chocolate was an eye opening experience. The “bean to bar” philosophy utilizes beans and ingredients from small producers around the world that are certified fair trade, organic, rainforest alliance or direct trade. Quality and sustainability is of the highest importance. Green and eco friendly practices are incorporated into every step of the manufacturing right down to the packaging.
Every handmade chocolate bar is created with at least 70% cacao using a maximum of three ingredients. The intense chocolate satisfies even the most stubborn of all cravings. The single serving bars are perfect for the ultimate chocolate lover without the guilt and to receive the health benefits. Owners Stuart and Mhairi explain that, “Cacao beans are a rich source of polyphenol antioxidants, high in important minerals, and a source of dietary fiber and protein. Choose dark chocolate with a cacao content of at least 70% which is associated with many health benefits such as those related to blood pressure, heart health, brain health, cancer, and gut microbiome.”
Unwrapping one of these fine chocolate bars is a complete sensory experience from the Tree Zero textured packaging to the embossed double spiral celtic symbol, meaning balance within opposite components. Then the taste. Double Spiral Chocolate is simply delectable. The texture is rich and smooth with complex natural flavors. Each ingredient combination, whether fruit or spice is balanced as only skilled chocolatiers can achieve- living up to the brand’s emblem. Bars can be purchased online here.
I am very excited to announce that Stuart and Mhairi will be featured in the spring 2019 issue of Sugarpeel magazine! This is simply a taste of what is upcoming. In the meantime, follow them on instagram @doublespiralchocolate.
