Still very healthy chocolate. - Maybe, I just got lucky, but after ordering this due to the health benefits, I found out it's one of the best. What's it best for you might ask well, there's a problem with many of the biggest name brands of dark and not so dark chocolate. Heavy metals, specifically Cadmium and Lead. Some brands have 200 percent more than the recommended safe level. This 86 percent dark had low levels of both better than the majority of name brand chocolate. As for taste, I know someone who can't stand any level of dark chocolate. A level over 20 percent cacao would turn her off. As a benefit she always gives me any dark chocolate items she gets. She loves white chocolate, which I don't believe is chocolate at all just coco butter. That said I like dark chocolate, but 100 percent is too bitter, and not crazy about 92 percent, however 86 percent is delicious and for chocolate lovers should be no problem. So, what is the reason for eating a small amount perhaps an ounce daily. Well especially when we get older, an important component to healing is stem cells. Did you know that you can grow back part of a lung, lobes of the liver and granulate back deep layers of skin tissue. I know that last one having had some skin surgeries in the past. Well, stem cells, undifferentiated, can be programmed to make and grow lots of repairs. The body renews itself all the time, but there are less circulating in the blood stream as we age. According to several studies, dark chocolate around 80 percent or higher can double the number of stem cells circulating in the blood vessels. I've started to each an ounce daily and this is a relatively safe quality brand compared to others. Recommended. Review: As bitter as you'd want eating chocolate to be. High quality product. Smooth. - If you're wondering what percentage cacao chocolate to get, I can describe this 86% as having just enough sugar to take the ragged edge off of the strong bitter astringency of plain cacao but not enough to make it perceivably sweet. It's bitter. (86% is the percent of cacao, the rest is mostly sugar, milk powder and butterfat). I've seen 90+% cacao chocolate, I have to question the point. To melt and bake with sure, but not to eat. If you're going to bake with it, get unsweetened baker's chocolate. I drink straight espresso all day long, I like bitter, but 90-95% cacao is too much. I'm heavy into keto and daily intermittent fasting- a square of bitter chocolate per day indulges me with keto positive, heart healthy fat and without much sugar. If you want a slightly sweet chocolate, get 70%. My favorite thing to do with very dark chocolate like this is to sprinkle a little salt on it- Himalayan pink salt. It makes it taste slightly sweeter and the interplay of bitter chocolate with salt, what it does inside your mouth is magical. Alchemy. You can sprinkle sugar on top as well to take off some of the bitter edge. Some hot ground chile- cayenne. Garam masala is outstanding. It's a great canvas. I'll sometimes melt a thin layer on top with a BBQ lighter or creme brulee torch then sprinkle the salt into the melted chocolate so it hardens and sticks. And it's great by itself for the purity of high quality cacao. Oh, and it has a LOT of caffeine and theobromine. 1 square will have you fidgeting. ## Features - Twelve (12) 3.17 oz GHIRARDELLI INTENSE DARK Chocolate Bars, 86% Cacao - Discover intensely delicious dark chocolate with subtle flavors of dark cherries and dried plums - GHIRARDELLI dark chocolate bar is the ultimate indulgence, party food or gift - Candy bars break into small squares for easy portioning - High quality cocoa beans and premium ingredients are skillfully blended for intensely delicious results - This GHIRARDELLI product is certified kosher ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07PL9ZRYG | | Age Range Description | 13+ | | Allergen Information | Soy | | Best Sellers Rank | #51,317 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #837 in Candy & Chocolate Bars | | Brand | Ghirardelli | | Brand Name | Ghirardelli | | Chocolate Type | Dark | | Container Type | Box | | Country as Labeled | United States | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 604 Reviews | | Diet Type | Kosher | | Flavor | 86% Cacao | | Form Factor | Bar | | Global Trade Identification Number | 10747599607254 | | Item Dimensions | 0.3 x 3.6 x 7.38 inches | | Item Form | Bar | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 1.29 kg | | Item Shape | rectangular prism | | Item Weight | 3.2 ounces | | Manufacturer | Ghirardelli | | Melting Temperature (degrees Celsius) | 86 °F | | Model Number | 60725 | | Number of Items | 12 | | Number of Pieces | 6 | | Occasion | Thank You | | Package Size Name | Pack of 12 | | Package Type Name | Box | | Part Number | 60725 | | Set Name | Case of 12 | | Size | 3.17 Ounce (Pack of 12) | | Specialty | Kosher Certified | | Theme | Luxury Chocolate Gifting | | Unit Count | 38.04 Ounce | | Variety | Dark Chocolate | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ghirardelli - **Chocolate Type:** Dark - **Flavor:** 86% Cacao - **Item Form:** Bar - **Occasion:** Thank You ## Images ![INTENSE DARK Chocolate Bar, 86% Cacao, 3.17 Oz Bar (Pack of 12) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71A85mRQDOL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Flavor** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ On the expensive side ships with cool packs to prevent melting.

I've ordered the 12-bar package several times. This is the first time that I ordered in the summer. It's August in South Carolina. The delivery trucks are not refrigerated. I would not expect them to be. Few products that are delivered require refrigeration. Chocolate does. This is not a complaint about the product. Just keep that in mind. Order when the weather is cool, and order a supply that will get you through the summer. ## Frequently Bought Together - GHIRARDELLI® INTENSE DARK Chocolate Bar, 86% Cacao, 3.17 Oz Bar (Pack of 12) - GHIRARDELLI Intense Dark Chocolate Bar, 72% Cacao, 3.5 Oz Bar (Pack of 12) - Lindt EXCELLENCE 70% Cocoa Dark Chocolate Candy Bar, Dark Chocolate, 3.5 oz.
