From the time of the Aztecs, the cacao tree has been cherished for its precious cacao beans. CACAO RESERVE BY HERSHEY'S brings you an indulgent experience made with carefully-chosen, slowly roasted cacao beans. The cacao beans are blended with the finest all-natural ingredients to create a smooth, creamy texture - an everyday luxury that you deserve. Once blended, the cacao beans are the staple of both the milk-chocolate and premium dark chocolate that make such delectable treats.
According to a recent New York Sun taste test, CACAO RESERVE BY HERSHEY'S ranks among the best tasting premium chocolates. Our cacao percentages range from a silky smooth 35% Cacao Milk Chocolate to a bold, rich 70% Cacao Dark Sao Tome Chocolate with a big finish. But what exactly do the cacao percentages mean?
When you see a cacao percentage on chocolate packaging, it means that product contains that specific percentage of pure, unadulterated, straight-from-the-bean ingredients. Higher cacao percentages result in less sweet, more intense chocolate flavor that defines premium dark chocolate. Meanwhile, lower cacao percentages lead to a rich creamy flavor combination that can be found in premium milk chocolate.
Many premium dark chocolates and premium milk chocolates clearly identify their percentage of cacao to assist chocolate connoisseurs in choosing the right chocolate…
