Montezumas Chocolate Spice It Up Dark Chocolate with Dragon Ginger 90g

Montezuma's likes to say NASA wanted to take this bar to the moon instead of Buzz Aldrin. Whether or not that is true, Spice It Up has certainly earned cult status. This 90g dark chocolate bar is studded with tiny pieces of fiery crystallised ginger and is suitable for vegans.

Tasting notes

The 70% dark chocolate is rich and smooth, and the crystallised ginger adds chewy pops of sweet, spicy heat throughout. The warmth builds gently as you eat, contrasting beautifully with the deep cocoa flavour. It is punchy without being overwhelming, and the finish lingers with a pleasant tingle.

About Montezuma's

Montezuma's began in 2000, when Helen and Simon Pattinson swapped careers in law for chocolate after a trip through South America. Their first shop opened in Brighton, and the chocolate is still crafted in the UK today, now from a base near Chichester in West Sussex. The brand has always had a playful streak, which is why so many bars carry cheeky names, but the approach to ingredients is taken seriously: no palm oil, ever.

How to enjoy it

Enjoy it with a strong black coffee or a ginger beer, chop it into gingerbread or flapjacks for an extra kick, or serve it with cheese for a surprising pairing. It is a brilliant gift for ginger lovers.

Good to know

For the best flavour and snap, store in a cool, dry place and avoid the fridge where possible, as moisture can cause a harmless white bloom on the surface. Once opened, fold the wrap closed or pop the chocolate into an airtight container.
