Highly recommend this brand.
Indian, Dakshin Kannada region brand. Support local firms. Clean ingredients, no oils, preservatives, and 100 other chemicals. You taste once and realize how Nestle, Cadburys, etc.. fool you with sugar, palm oil, dalda, etc...
The taste of Anuttamma Chocolates is where tradition meets indulgence, with farm-to-bar creations crafted from locally grown cocoa and sweetened with nature’s best. 🍫✨
#BrandsOfBharat continues its journey, celebrating flavors born from our soil and crafted for the world.
#AnuttamaChocolates brings you award-winning chocolates (🥉 International Chocolate Awards 2021-22), made with jaggery, dates, and coconut sugar, a soulful bite of India’s richness.

That “70%” or “85%” on your chocolate bar isn’t just a marketing label
It’s a carefully calculated ratio of cacao mass (beans + butter) to sugar & other ingredients
Chocolate makers decide it based on desired flavor balance, texture, and target audience
It’s both science & art
The planet warms → Soil dries → Cacao trees weaken → Pod production drops → Bean quality suffers → Prices climb → Farmers exit the market.
A single degree rise sets off a domino collapse of the chocolate supply chain.
Not all cacao is created equal.
Origin, bean variety, roast, fermentation, all shape taste.
Two 70% bars can taste worlds apart.
Cacao percentage is science, but flavor is art.
Old vegan chocolate:
• Grainy, chalky textures
• Over-sweet to “make up” for dairy
• Treated as niche
New vegan chocolate:
• Smooth, well-conched bars
• Balanced flavor highlighting cacao
• Crafted for everyone
Vegan isn’t a label anymore. It’s a level of craft.
Ever Heard of the Word Terroir?
Terroir is the taste of a place.
It’s the story soil, climate, and land tell through a crop.
Coffee has it. Wine has it.
Mass-market chocolate? Erases it.
Most people fall in love with chocolate.
We fell in love with the cacao tree.
We didn’t start with machines or mentors.
Just a belief:
That Indians deserve an authentic chocolate.
