Cox & Co. hits sweet spot with new flavour

Luxury chocolate brand Cox & Co. is targeting dark chocolate lovers with its brand new Blood Orange Crunch bar, crafted from 60 per cent single-origin Colombian cacao.

With almost two-thirds of chocolate buyers enjoying two or more flavours in a chocolate bar, it’s easy to see why Cox & Co.’s flavour combinations of velvety rich dark chocolate and delicious superfoods are so popular and its latest addition to the range is sure to be no different.

Blood orange is characterised by its deep red flesh and sweet citrusy taste and in its new Blood Orange Crunch Bar, Cox & Co. has paired Blood Orange oil with raw cacao nibs for a zesty flavour, and balanced it with subtle vanilla notes and a moreish crunch.

“We are thrilled to be launching a brand new flavour of our popular 75g dark chocolate bars. Orange-flavoured chocolate is one of the most sought-after amongst chocolate buyers, so we wanted to deliver on this, but with a Cox & Co. twist!” said founder, Gavin Cox. ”The combination of zesty, citrusy flavours with the slightly bitter coffee notes, make the new Blood Orange Crunch bar the perfect treat for dark chocolate fans.”

Blood Orange Crunch is joining Cox & Co.’s range with six other delicious vegan flavours to choose from, including Miso & Caramel, Mint Crunch, Bee Pollen & Honey, Raw Cacao Nibs, 71 per cent Dark Chocolate and Single Origin Pure Cacao (100 per cent).

“Our original range of dark chocolate bars continue to be our best-selling product, with customers continuing to enjoy the unique flavour combinations, blended with our single-origin Colombian cacao. We expect our new Blood Orange Crunch to be very well received and look forward to hearing what customers think,” added Gavin.

Cox & Co.’s cacao is sourced from Colombia’s Luker Chocolate estate as part of "The Chocolate Dream" initiative, which invests in farmers, communities and sustainable farming methods to produce chocolate that’s as ethical as possible.

Cox & Co.’s NEW Blood Orange Crunch Bar is available to retailers nationwide (priced from £13.50, 3 x 70g bars).
