Cacao Barry Ocoa Dark Chocolate Couverture 70%

For those who demand the purest, most uncompromising dark chocolate experience — Ocoa is the answer. Cacao Barry's Ocoa 70% is a single-origin dark couverture sourced exclusively from the Dominican Republic, one of the world's most celebrated cacao-growing regions. The result is a chocolate of extraordinary depth and character: intensely dark, powerfully aromatic, and unmistakably complex.

A staple in professional pastry kitchens and chocolate ateliers, Ocoa 70% is the couverture you choose when you want your chocolate to speak for itself. Available at Nut House, delivered across the UK.

Why Professionals Choose Ocoa 70%

• Single-origin Dominican Republic cacao: Distinctive terroir-driven flavour you simply can't replicate with blended chocolate
• Intensely dark at 70%: Bold cocoa character with natural bitterness perfectly balanced by fruity complexity
• Exceptional fluidity: High cocoa butter content for smooth tempering, enrobing, and ganache work
• Consistent professional performance: Crafted to exacting Cacao Barry standards for reliable results every time

Tasting Notes

Powerful and aromatic with notes of dark dried fruit, roasted coffee, and earthy cocoa. A bold, full-bodied profile with a long, complex finish. Pairs beautifully with raspberry, passion fruit, espresso, and fleur de sel.

How to Use

• Tempering: Melt to 50–55°C, cool to 27–28°C, reheat to 31–32°C — see our full tempering guide for tabling and seeding methods
• Ganaches: Use a 2:1 chocolate to cream ratio for firm truffles, or 1:1 for an intense pourable glaze
• Enrobing & moulding: Excellent fluidity for coating truffles and filling praline moulds with a dramatic dark finish
• Mousses: Fold into whipped cream at 35–40°C for a deeply intense dark chocolate mousse
• Baking: Use in brownies, fondants, and tarts where you want a bold, uncompromising chocolate flavour
