DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA, UNITED STATES, January 4, 2024
-- Finally, the world’s first certified Organic, honestly sugar-free, Sweet Dark Chocolate bar. Macalat is set to redefine and disrupt the chocolate industry with a new category, Organic Sweet Dark Chocolate. The innovative creation introduces a completely new category of bitter-free 70% sweet dark chocolate, offering a delightful superfood-infused experience that transcends the limitations of traditional craft bean-to-bar dark chocolates.
The brand, Macalat®, is a true superfood chocolate, crafted without any sugar, whatsoever, providing a wholesome sugar-free indulgence. By incorporating a new flavorless Fermented Mushroom Mycelium Extract, developed by mushroom ingredient innovator, MycoTechnology, Macalat® successfully eliminates bitterness and astringency, revealing a full spectrum of cacao and superfood flavors that leave no unpleasant mouth feel or aftertaste. This innovative mushroom ingredient revolutionizes the chocolate experience, without the need for sugar, revealing an unparalleled chocolate taste sensation.
“The marvelous mushroom extract acts to cut the bitter notes of the cacao, so the bar has a rich, sweet taste but with zero sugar and zero net carbs. It's perfect for anyone living a carb-controlled lifestyle but who wants to enjoy chocolate. You need to taste it to believe it!”

Certified Organic means the result was achieved without any false claims or artificial ingredients.
Developed by Organic taste guru, John Troy, known as The Organic Taste Wizard in the Organic food trade, Macalat® sweet dark chocolate represents years of meticulous research and development, with novel production protocols that have never been used before. Combining the velvety smoothness of perfectly tempered 70% Peruvian Cacao with other plant-based superfood inclusions such as Maca, Lucuma, Vanilla, Monk Fruit, and Cinnamon, Macalat® captivates with its gentle and unique caramel-like sweetness. The addition of the remarkable mushroom extract ensures a smooth and sweet finish, devoid of any bitterness or harshness. The mushroom ingredient is not sweet, itself, but works like alchemy on the taste buds. Truly incredible. The brand’s fitting battle cry is “Tasting is Believing!”
