The higher cacao content results in a more pronounced, sometimes slightly bitter, chocolate flavor with subtle fruity or earthy undertones. It is less creamy than milk chocolate.

How to keep the rest
Store any remaining chocolate in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Ensure it is tightly wrapped or in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing surrounding smells. This helps preserve its delicate flavor and smooth texture.
