Tesco Finest Ecuador Dark Chocolate 75% — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Tesco Finest Ecuador Dark Chocolate 75% by TESCO finest TREAT — score 45/90.
A clean, simple dark chocolate bar. Cocoa comes first, sugar is the only real red flag, and there are no emulsifiers or artificial junk. Indulgent but honest.
Why this verdict
- Cocoa mass and cocoa butter lead the list, not sugar
- Only 4 ingredients, all recognizable
- Added sugar makes it an indulgence, not everyday food
- Calorie- and fat-dense by nature of chocolate
- Vague 'flavouring' is the one unspecified add-in
Ingredients (4)
- Cocoa Mass (safe) — Ground cocoa beans; the actual chocolate, carrying flavanols and minerals.
- Sugar (concerning) — Added sugar, third by weight, feeds yeast and adds sweetness with no nutritional benefit.
- Cocoa Butter (safe) — The natural fat of the cocoa bean; rich and calorie-dense but not an industrial oil.
- flavouring (moderate) — An unspecified flavor add-in. Not harmful, but the vagueness slightly undercuts the 'finest' premium positioning.
