If you’re searching for the absolute best bar — either for your loved one or yourself — look no further than the treat that was declared the best dark chocolate in the world, according to the 2024 International Chocolate Awards: Norwegian chocolate maker Vigdis Rosenkilde’s 70% cacao Quellouno bar. Simplicity is the key to this winner’s success. Roskenkilde’s 70% Quellouno is made from just two ingredients — sugar and cacao. The latter is sourced from a single-family farm in the Quelloúno district of Cusco, Peru, a region that gives the chocolate both its name and distinct flavor. The result is a bar with a complex profile, including tasting notes of forest berries, pecans, cream, and port wine, along with hints of green apple, plums, vanilla, yellow melon, and banana. If you could give the gift of the best chocolate in the world, why wouldn’t you?
