What does it mean when a chocolate bar has a percent sign?
If you're new to dark chocolate you may not know how to read the label, let us help! The percentage of cacao you see on a label is the measurement of the chocolate bar’s weight that comes from cocoa beans (including cocoa liquor and cocoa butter), also known as cocoa mass. Calculating the percentage is a simple formula of cocoa mass divided by the weight of the chocolate bar.Â
Â
This means if you flip over to the ingredients list of the 100% Cacao Coal Creek Roaster's bar you'll see that the only ingredient is cacao where lower percentages also contain organic cane sugar. The amount of cane sugar added lowers the percentage of pure cacao and also makes the chocolate sweeter.

About Coal Creek Roasters
