Q: Does your chocolate contain antioxidants?

Bigtime . According to the USDA , the average ORAC value of pure dark chocolate is 49,944, which is 10x greater than the ORAC value of raw blueberries (4,669) and 13x greater than red wine (3,607) - both of which are also considered antioxidant powerhouses. However, ORAC values only tell one part of the story. Another measure is Total Phenolics. According to the USDA, pure dark chocolate measures 3,580 in Total Phenolics, compared to 429 for raw blueberries and 329 for red wine. Why are antioxidants and why are they good for you? From Healthline : Antioxidants are molecules that fight free radicals in your body. Free radicals are compounds that can cause harm if their levels become too high in your body. They’re linked to multiple illnesses, including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Your body needs to maintain a certain balance of free radicals and antioxidants. When free radicals outnumber antioxidants, it can lead to a state called oxidative stress. Prolonged oxidative stress can damage your DNA and other important molecules in your body. This increases your risk of cancer, and some scientists have theorized that it plays a pivotal role in the aging process. ...Berries, green tea, coffee, and dark chocolate are renowned for being good sources of antioxidants.

Question 2

Once I open a bar of To'ak how long will it keep?

Accepted Answer

You don't have too much to worry about but chocolate is best enjoyed in the present

From a health and safety perspective, it will still be viable to eat for several years. From a flavor and aroma perspective, it’s best to eat it within a week or so of opening the bar. After several weeks (even months), the chocolate will still retain a surprising amount of its original flavor and aroma, but it won’t be as strong. The best way to prolong the flavor and aroma after opening a bar is to store it in a ziplock bag at room temperature. This can help maintain flavors and aromas for months.

For the record, there are documented reports of dark chocolate still being edible after 100 years. As part of our own experiment, we have chocolate bars that have been stored in our office for up to six years, and they are still in excellent condition.

We've got you covered

It really depends on who the gift is for and what your price range is.

Fancy something fancy?

The fanciest and most extravagant gift would be one of our Origin bars, which is frequently included in gifting guides from publications like Forbes and Robb Report. Each Origin bar is packaged in a handcrafted hardwood box, with the individual bar number engraved on the back, and is accompanied by tasting utensils and a booklet that provides a guide to the art of tasting and pairing dark chocolate. You have a choice of Harvest editions or Aged editions. Origin bars are priced in the range of $200.

Going all out?

Unless you want to go really big. In this case, you will want to have a very close look at our Art Series chocolate. This is generally regarded as the single most luxurious dark chocolate in the world. The price is $450. Your gift is sure to impress even the hardest-to-impress gift recipients. The Art Series comes with a limited edition artistic print (with certificate of authenticity and mini display stand), a booklet which provides a guide to tasting and the artist, a copper tasting plate and bamboo tasting utensil, all encased in an exquisite handcrafted hardwood box, with the individual bar number engraved on the back.

Something that makes a statement?

Our Signature Collection is an ideal gift for foodies, chocolate lovers and/or connoisseurs, and anyone with a sweet tooth. There are a range of flavors and styles, including our hallmark cask-aged editions as well as our Harvest editions. If you want to try multiple flavors, take a look at our Mini Bar Selections, which offer the opportunity to taste practically every single harvest year that To’ak has produced...in one single box. It's the perfect dinner party or thank you gift.

For the health conscious, we offer bags of 100% organic cacao powder aimed at everyday use. We also offer drinking chocolate in various flavors and styles, including barrel-aged drinking chocolate.
