Ginger Chocolate

Ginger and chocolate bring spice and richness together in perfect harmony. Both have been enjoyed for centuries, prized for their flavour and medicinal qualities. It wasn’t until they reached Europe that the two were combined, where they quickly became luxury ingredients enjoyed by the wealthy. Ginger’s bright heat and floral notes cut through chocolate’s richness, lifting the flavour and making each bite lighter and more moreish.

Here are some of our favourite ginger-forward chocolate bars to try. Starting with Pacari's Ginger & Chia 60% dark chocolate. This bar is crunchy, warming and surprisingly balanced. Dehydrated ginger brings gentle heat, while chia seeds add texture and nutritional heft. Or looking something sweeter, try The Chocolate Society's Ginger Biscuit 35% blonde chocolate. Caramelised blonde chocolate pairs with ginger oil and crunchy biscuit pieces to recreate the comforting flavour of a classic ginger biscuit.

Looking a bit of a hotter kick, try Montezuma's' Spice It Up 70% dark chocolate. Smooth dark chocolate meets crystallised ginger for a punchy, textured bar with just the right amount of heat to highlight the cacao’s depth. Or in the market for something a bit different, Willie's Cacao's Ginger & Lime 70% dark chocolate has zesty lime, which lifts the richness of dark chocolate, while crystallised ginger adds warmth and chew. A vibrant bar that feels surprisingly refreshing for a 70%.
