Vere:
75% Cacao Chocolate Bars
If you need chocolate, make sure it's the highest in antioxidants and lowest in sugar. Vere specializes in 75% cacao chocolate from the Ecuadorian arriba bean, which has a naturally sweeter flavor than other cacao beans; so the flavor of this 75% cacao may not seem as intense as it may be with other brands. They also make portion-controlled squares. Read our review of Vere chocolate.
