Uncommon: mostly from the maker or specialty shops How we score

Rarity is our editors’ score for how hard something is to find in the US and how unusual it is to make: availability (supermarket, specialty shop or maker only), production (small-batch, seasonal, foraged) and how unusual the ingredient or method is.

  1. 1 Familiar twist: easy to find, unusual flavour
  2. 2 Specialty: good grocers and online
  3. 3 Uncommon: mostly from the maker or specialty shops
  4. 4 Rare: small-batch, regional or few stockists
  5. 5 Very rare: tiny batches, foraged or one of a kind

What it tastes like

Likely deep, slightly fruity cocoa with a soft date sweetness and flashes of salt that sharpen the bitterness.

Why it’s rare

It contains no sugar or jaggery: the cocoa is ground with dates instead. The brand says the beans come from Idukki and Malabar in Kerala.
