Fine Dark Chocolate
Chocolate & Love - Caramel & Sea Salt, 55%
Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Taste Awards 2023 Winner
Origin & Craftsmanship
This bar is part of the premium organic and Fairtrade line from Chocolate & Love, made in Switzerland. It combines carefully selected cacao mass (minimum 55%), organic sugar and cocoa butter with crunchy caramel pieces and a delicate dash of sea salt. The brand emphasizes direct sourcing and ethical practices.
Flavor Profile
A rich and approachable dark chocolate base leads off, followed by the playful contrast of crunchy caramel pieces and a hint of sea salt that brightens the finish. The result is a “sweet-and-salty” bar that remains balanced, not overly sweet, and gives that crave-worthy texture and flavor experience.
Tasting & Pairing Guide
Let a square melt slowly on your tongue so the chocolate depth is released first. Next you’ll notice the caramel’s sweet crunch, followed by the subtle sea-salt finish which rounds the flavor and lifts the palate.
Pair with a lightly sweet dessert wine, such as a tawny port or crème de cassis, to echo the caramel and salt aspects. For non-alcoholic pairing, a robust dark roast coffee or an aromatic black tea (e.g., Earl Grey) works beautifully—its bitterness helps balance the salt-sweet interplay. For a snack contrast, try roasted almonds or lightly salted pretzel pieces alongside the bar to emphasize the bar’s texture and flavor dynamics.
Summary
The Caramel & Sea Salt 55% bar is a standout in the Chocolate & Love range: it merges dark chocolate richness with playful caramel crunch and salt clarity—making it an ideal choice for anyone looking for indulgence with balance. Ethical sourcing, organic certification, and a smart flavor twist give it both craft and mass-appeal.
We ship award-winning craft chocolate from our warehouse in Saint John, New Brunswick to more than fifty countries. Rates, transit times and free-shipping thresholds for every destination are below.
How We Protect Chocolate in Transit
Fine chocolate is temperature-sensitive by nature. We pack according to the forecast along the actual route, not the season on the calendar.
25–30°C (77–86°F) — insulated packaging
30–35°C (86–95°F) — double insulation with an ice pack
35–40°C (95–104°F) — double insulation with ice packs
Above 40°C (104°F) — the shipment may be held until conditions improve
We ship Monday to Thursday so nothing sits in a weekend warehouse, and a business delivery address gives chocolate a better chance than a doorstep in August. These measures reduce risk substantially. They do not eliminate it — in sustained heat, softening can still occur in transit.
Estimated Delivery Times
Every timeframe shown in the table, at checkout, or in a shipping confirmation is an estimate. Actual transit varies with destination, customs clearance and carrier operations, and peak periods and public holidays in either country affect it further. We dispatch promptly, but once a parcel is with the carrier we have little control over its progress, and we can't guarantee a delivery date.
Customs and Duties
Duties, import taxes and local handling fees are set by the destination country and are the responsibility of the recipient. They are not included in our shipping charge. Where a destination has a specific requirement, it's noted alongside that destination's rate.
If a carrier asks you for information to complete clearance, respond promptly. Parcels held for unanswered customs queries are usually returned or destroyed, and we can't recover them.
Orders With Pre-Order Items
An order that mixes in-stock and pre-order items ships complete, once every item has arrived. This avoids a second shipping charge. The expected date for a pre-order item appears on its product page and in your order confirmation, and you'll be emailed when the full order ships.
If you want the in-stock items sooner, place two separate orders. Pre-order items can't be expedited.
Damage, Melting and Delays
We don't refund or replace orders for melting, carrier delays, or customs-related outcomes. Our pricing reflects the protective packaging included in every order rather than a margin held back to cover weather.
If something arrives genuinely damaged, write to us within seven days with photographs of the parcel and its contents and we'll look at it.
Delivery to Specific Countries
For country-specific details on customs, transit and local requirements, see our pages for chocolate delivery to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore.

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.
To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.
On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
