An Extraordinary Chocolate Adventure

Inspired by the growing demand for dark chocolate, BLACK is Norman Love Confections’ newest creation. It fulfills the desire for an ultra-premium line that explores the influence of a chocolate’s origin. Whether you have an exploratory nature, a taste for fine confections or an interest in healthy living, BLACK is a truly captivating source to satisfy your cravings.

Unique Origin
Each of the five chocolates in Norman Love Confections’ BLACK collection is made with cocoa beans from one of the world’s five premium growing regions: The Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Bolivia, Venezuela and Madagascar. Rare Criollo and Trinitario beans – the pinnacle of quality cocoa – were selected, allowing you to experience the distinct flavor of these top quality beans while comparing the subtleties of each region.




Pure Intensity
Unique in its intensity, BLACK contains an extraordinarily high cocoa mass, ranging from 74% to 64%. The robust shells cover velvety ganache fillings with no infused flavors. This is a purely chocolate confection.




Positive Effects
The health benefits of dark chocolate are a major factor in the food’s growing popularity. Dark chocolate contains antioxidants known as flavanols that destroy free radicals, which have been implicated in heart disease. It also contains endorphins, the body’s natural opiates, which provide a feeling of well-being and reduce sensitivity to pain. Another element, the amino acid tryptophan, produces serotonin in the brain, promoting feelings of calm and well-being. According to a report in The Journal of the American Medical association, dark chocolate can help lower blood pressure.
