El Corte Inglés Organic Dark Chocolate with Extra Virgin Olive Oil – 56% Cacao 70g

A Spanish chocolate maker's surprising take on dark chocolate: 56% cacao blended with extra virgin olive oil. The oil doesn't sweeten or soften the chocolate — it deepens it, adding a subtle fruity note and a silky finish that lingers on the palate. Organic cocoa, organic olive oil, no pretense.

About this product

This bar marries two Spanish staples: quality chocolate and Spain's most celebrated oil. The combination works because extra virgin olive oil has a complexity that complements rather than masks cacao. You'll notice the difference in the first bite: a cleaner bitterness, a longer finish, and a texture that feels less waxy than conventional dark chocolate. Wrapped and ready to eat, or to break into pieces for a tasting board.

How to enjoy

• Eat as a simple dark chocolate bar — one or two squares with coffee after dinner.
• Break into shards and serve alongside marcona almonds and a dry sherry.
• Melt gently and drizzle over fresh strawberries or a warm pear.
• Pair with aged cheese, particularly manchego or Cabrales.

⭐ Why we love this

This is Spanish ingenuity at its finest: a chocolate maker respecting cacao's integrity while celebrating olive oil as a flavour partner, not a gimmick. The organic certification and use of extra virgin olive oil—Spain's liquid gold—create a bar that feels like terroir on the palate, with neither ingredient overshadowing the other.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Enjoy after a meal with a glass of amontillado or dry oloroso sherry—the chocolate's subtle bitterness and olive oil's fruity complexity echo the wine's nutty depth. Alternatively, serve with quince paste (membrillo) and aged manchego cheese for an authentic Spanish tasting board.

📍 From Spain
