What Does Cocoa Percentage Mean?
Cocoa percentage simply refers to the amount of cocoa solids and butter in a chocolate bar - the higher the percentage, the richer and less sweet the flavour.
-
Higher cocoa = deeper, more complex taste (ideal for dark chocolate fans).
-
Lower cocoa = creamier, sweeter notes (perfect for milk or white chocolate lovers).
Cocoba’s diverse range lets you mix and match, so you can curate a personalised gift that truly suits your recipient’s taste.
