Xocolata Amatller 70% Cacao

To speak of Amatller Chocolate is to open a window into the Barcelona of 1797. Tasting this 70% cocoa bar is like stepping into the elegance of Passeig de Gràcia during the height of the Modernism movement. This is the chocolate that grew alongside the city, forever linked to the iconic Casa Amatller—the architectural masterpiece by Puig i Cadafalch that stands proudly next to Gaudí’s Casa Batlló.

When you snap off a square, the first thing you notice is a clean, sharp "crack", the unmistakable sign of high-quality tempering and premium cocoa content.

It boasts a deep, dark ebony color with a satin-like sheen, reflecting its noble origins (a refined blend of beans from Ghana and Ecuador). It offers a warm, inviting embrace. You’ll find intense roasted notes, hints of toasted nuts, and a delicate floral undertone that transports you to the historic chocolate workshops of Old Barcelona. This is where the magic happens. Despite its 70% intensity, it melts with surprising silkiness. The bitterness is elegant and refined—never aggressive—balanced with a touch of sweetness that gives way to red fruit notes and a long, persistent, creamy finish.

Savoring this chocolate is a tribute to Barcelona's chocolate-making tradition. Its packaging, often adorned with Art Nouveau illustrations by masters like Alphonse Mucha, serves as a reminder that what’s inside is a work of art. It is the perfect finale to a Mediterranean meal or a gift that carries a piece of Barcelona’s soul to any corner of the world.
