Unsweetened or Bitter Chocolate

Unsweetened chocolate is straight chocolate liquor. It contains no sugar and has a strongly bitter taste. Because it is molded in blocks, it is also referred to as block cocoa or cocoa block. It is used to flavor items that have other sources of sweetness.

Unsweetened chocolate is also known as bitter chocolate. Do not confuse this product with bittersweet chocolate, which is a category of sweetened chocolate with a low sugar content.
