Classic Milk, 55%

55% classic milk chocolate bar, a dark-leaning milk chocolate made with single-origin Zorzal Communitario cacao from the Dominican Republic and Organic West dry milk powder. A dark milk format with less milk than mass-market bars, allowing the cacao's character to remain clear while creamy organic milk powder rounds it out. Organic West sources from west-coast family dairies where cows are pasture raised, with milk that is always antibiotic, GMO and rBST free.
