organic bean-to-bar chocolate

Standout is a small Swedish chocolate maker run by Fredrik Martinsson, who started making chocolate in 2018. He works bean to bar in small batches with certified organic cacao from single estates, and the plain dark bars are made with just two ingredients. Each wrapper carries its own color and a hexagon chart of the bar's tasting notes.

Alongside the plain dark bars, Standout makes a series of bars flavored with typical Nordic ingredients.

Standout Craft Chocolate questions

What does bean-to-bar mean?

Bean-to-bar means one chocolate maker controls the whole process, from buying the cacao beans to making the finished bar, instead of starting with chocolate someone else has already made. Turning whole beans into chocolate happens in the maker's own hands, so the maker decides how every step shapes the flavor.

What does the percentage on a dark chocolate bar mean?

The percentage is the share of the bar that comes from the cacao bean, counting the ground bean and cacao butter, its natural fat. In a two-ingredient dark bar of cacao beans and sugar, the rest is sugar, so a 70% bar is 30% sugar. A higher number usually tastes more intense and less sweet.
