Vivani has put together a 99% Cocao dark chocolate bar. The only thing added to the organic cacao is a small amount of coconut blossom sugar to take the edge of what is quite a bitter taste. By adding this natural sweetener they are enabling a wider audience to enjoy the benefits of an extremely high percentage chocolate bar without it being a 100% cocoa bar which only a small number of people will be bold enough to try. That is not to say this bar is not still bitter though, be warned it is a very, very strong tasting chocolate bar.
The benefits of of 99% cacao bar are that it contains vitamins including iron, zinc and magnesium, all of which help bodily functions from the immune system to bone health. The darker the chocolate the higher the level of the molecule theobromine. Theobromine is interesting because, when consumed in low quantities, despite being a stimulant, it can actually help you fall asleep due to it helping you relax and balance your brain chemistry.
Whilst this will be a very strong and, even with coconut blossom sugar, bitter chocolate bar, if you are a fan of very dark chocolate this is definitely worth trying.

Vivani Chocolate was founded by Andreas Meyer in 2000. Andreas is a baker by trade and is a qualified nutritionist, he also built up huge experience before his Vivani days working in the organic food sector. The call to set something up himself was too strong, and he found a family run chocolate factory in Herford, Germany who shared his belief in creating an organic chocolate bar. Vivani is a chocolate bar with an artistic flair, Andreas believes that art speaks many languages, and chocolate is the same. You will notice his love of art on the beautifully packaged Vivani chocolate bars which really sets them apart from other brands.
