An organic 74% dark chocolate bar flavoured with nothing more than organic peppermint oil, made in West Sussex, UK, with no palm oil, preservatives, or additives. I first tried it over a decade ago when I was looking for plastic-free options and found it too bitter, but whether the recipe or my palate has changed, I now find it every bit as moreish as the mainstream mint chocolate bars, just cleaner. Reassuringly for a dark chocolate, Montezuma’s also monitors its bars for lead and cadmium and confirms they sit within UK and European legal limits, which is more than most brands. It is a proper treat and one for anyone who wants their mint chocolate organic, vegan, and in recyclable, plastic-free packaging from a genuinely sustainable maker.
