Dark Chocolate Sea Salt

The fleur de sel from the Îles de la Madeleine plays a specific role in our chocolates: it brings out notes in the cocoa that you wouldn't notice otherwise. It's a phenomenon chocolatiers know well — a small amount of salt heightens the intensity of the chocolate without reading as salty. The result is a chocolate that feels more complex, deeper, with a finish that an ordinary bar simply doesn't have.

Our chocolates have a two-layer texture: the bar melts gently on the tongue, while the fleur de sel flakes add a light crunch that plays off the smoothness of the chocolate. It isn't a crunchy texture like a praline — it's a subtle surprise, the flake softly cracking, which makes every bite hard to put down.

These chocolates are crafted with care by a Quebec artisan chocolatier, chosen for the quality of their ingredients and their responsible practices — including sustainably sourced cocoa. That partnership is what lets the fleur de sel from the Îles de la Madeleine meet a chocolate worthy of it.

Alcyon Dark Chocolate Sea Salt is made with 70% dark chocolate — a percentage that offers real intensity and balanced bitterness without being too sharp. That profile is exactly what makes the fleur de sel work: the contrast between the bitterness of 70% cocoa and the Îles de la Madeleine sea salt crystals creates a tasting experience that's both complex and memorable.

A 70% dark chocolate is naturally less sweet than milk chocolate — that's the nature of dark chocolate. Its cocoa intensity gives it a depth of flavour that's often best enjoyed in small amounts. For specific nutritional information, please refer to the product label.
