Did You Know?
Hazelnuts contain more Vitamin E per gram than almost any other nut – a fat-soluble antioxidant that works in synergy with the flavanols in dark chocolate.
Most hazelnut chocolates worldwide use sugar and hydrogenated fats to create that familiar praline texture.
We achieve the same richness using nothing but roasted hazelnuts, cocoa butter, and the natural oils released from the nuts themselves during stone grinding.
Sensory Profile:

FAQs
Yes. The only sweetener in this bar is dates powder - a whole-food ingredient with no refined sugars, no sugar alcohols like maltitol, and no artificial sweeteners. The FSSAI-certified nutritional label shows 0g Added Sugars. All sweetness comes from the natural sugars in dates, balanced by the oils in roasted hazelnuts and the bitterness of 70% cacao.
The hazelnuts are roasted before being incorporated into the chocolate. Roasting develops the natural oils in hazelnuts - giving the bar its characteristic warm, toasty richness - and intensifies the aroma. We do not use hazelnut flavouring, hazelnut paste, or any processed hazelnut derivative. Only whole roasted hazelnuts, added directly into the stone-grinding process.
Most hazelnut chocolate products - including Nutella and commercial praline bars - list sugar as the first ingredient, followed by hydrogenated fats and hazelnut paste (not whole nuts). Bittersoil's hazelnut dark chocolate uses whole roasted hazelnuts, 59% cacao, and dates powder as the only sweetener. There is no refined sugar, no palm oil, and no emulsifiers. The result is a bar that tastes genuinely of hazelnuts and dark chocolate — not sweetness that overpowers both.
This bar contains 59% cacao - the concentration associated with cocoa flavanols that research links to improved insulin sensitivity. It is sweetened with date powder rather than refined sugar or maltitol, and contains 0g added sugars. Hazelnuts also have a low glycemic index and provide monounsaturated fats that support metabolic health. However, we always recommend diabetics consult their physician and practice portion control (1–2 squares per day).
The product itself is entirely dairy-free and vegan. It does not contain milk, butter, or any dairy derivative. However, it contains Tree Nuts (Hazelnuts) and is processed in a facility that also handles Peanuts, Almonds, Milk, and Soy. If you have a tree nut allergy, this product is not suitable for you. For all other allergen concerns, please review the full ingredient list before purchasing.
Store in a cool, dry place between 18-22°C away from direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate - condensation in and out of the fridge causes sugar bloom, affecting texture. The shelf life is 6 months from the date of manufacture, printed on the pack. Once opened, the bar is best consumed within 2-3 weeks. If ambient temperature exceeds 28°C, a sealed container in a cool pantry is preferable to refrigeration.
