10 Great Chocolate Bars for Summer

Summer shelves call for something different – lighter cacao percentages, brighter colours, fruit and floral notes that suit warm days and long evenings. 

It’s also the season retailers ask us about most often for warm-weather shipping, so every bar below travels well: we ship with insulated EcoCoolBox packaging and ice-gel-packs whenever the temperature calls for it, at no extra cost.

Here are ten bars from our range that are perfect for summer…

Dick Taylor – Strawberries & Cream

72% dark / white, Belize 

Two layers: Dick Taylor’s 72% Belize single origin dark, and a Peruvian white chocolate made with A2/A2 whole milk and freeze-dried strawberries. It’s like chocolate-dipped strawberries in bar form – fruity, creamy, with just enough tartness to stop it tipping into dessert territory. Seasonal release. 

Dick Taylor – Lemon & Bergamot

65% dark, Belize

Tart crystallised lemon and a hint of bergamot oil folded into Dick Taylor’s silky 65% Belize dark. The blend of bergamot and lemon creates a perfect balance of citrusy brightness and floral undertones.

Fjåk – Wild Blueberry

50% milk, Madagascar 

Creamy milk chocolate from Madagascar’s Sambirano Valley, combined with Nordic blueberries. Multiple award wins, including Silver at the Academy of Chocolate Awards 2021.

Marou – Mekong Kumquat

68% dark, Vietnam 

Tien Giang cacao paired with dried kumquat grown in the same Mekong Delta orchards – “fruit that grows together, goes together.” Spiced, warm dark chocolate lifted by bright citrus. 

Marou – White Chocolate with Vietnamese Vanilla

44% white, Vietnam

Made with rare vanilla from Ba Ria province and cocoa butter sourced from six Vietnamese regions. Sweet, velvety, with a beautiful aromatic vanilla character – a great bar for people who think they don’t like white chocolate.

Menakao – Coconut Milk and Vanilla

45% milk, Madagascar

Menakao makes its chocolate entirely in Madagascar, from bean to bar – a rare model that keeps far more value with local farmers and factory workers than the industry norm. This bar pairs Madagascan vanilla with coconut for something genuinely tropical and easy-going for summer. 

Qantu – Argousier

38% white, Peru cacao / Quebec sea buckthorn

A bright orange bar – white chocolate combined with sea buckthorn from Quebec. Tart, tangy, unmistakably summer in both colour and flavour. From Elfi and Maxime’s Montréal-based operation, built on native Peruvian cacao varieties.

Standout Chocolate – Nordic Summer Blossom

66% dark, Dominican Republic

Elderflower and linden flower folded into Standout’s organic dark chocolate. Tasting notes: summer-fresh, floral, honey. Inspired by the midnight sun and Midsummer Eve traditions of the Swedish summer.

Standout Chocolate – Cloudberry Caramel

49% milk, Dominican Republic

Cloudberries – known in Sweden as “the gold of the forest” – combined with Standout’s milk chocolate for a caramel-forward, berry-bright bar. Awarded Gold at the 2025 Academy of Chocolate Awards and Silver at the 2026 International Chocolate Awards.

Willie’s Cacao – Raspberries & Cream

36% white, Venezuela

Cocoa butter, milk powder, raw cane sugar and raspberries – nothing else. Made in Willie Harcourt-Cooze’s Devon factory using cacao from his own Hacienda El Tesoro in Venezuela. Bright pink, super fruity, and perfect for summer.
