High cacao
Our range moves from 72% dark chocolate through 87.5% ultra dark to 100% pure cacao — allowing you to choose the intensity, sweetness and ritual that suits you.
80Noir Ultra® / Functional Chocolate
We don't believe choosing chocolate should mean choosing between pleasure and intention.
80Noir Ultra® begins with real, high-cacao chocolate and a deliberately different approach: less sugar, carefully considered ingredients and a range that moves from approachable 72% dark chocolate through to pure 100% cacao.
Because chocolate can still be chocolate — and do things differently.
Our philosophy
It starts with the chocolate.
Beautiful cacao. Real dark chocolate. Extraordinary flavour. Then we think carefully about everything around it — from sugar and ingredients to how it fits into the rhythm of modern life.
Function should never require chocolate to stop being a pleasure.
What makes it functional?
We’re not trying to disguise chocolate as something else. We begin with real, high-cacao chocolate — then make deliberate choices around cacao percentage, sugar, ingredients and how each blend fits into the moments people actually live.
Our range moves from 72% dark chocolate through 87.5% ultra dark to 100% pure cacao — allowing you to choose the intensity, sweetness and ritual that suits you.
Higher cacao naturally changes the balance of the cup. Our darker blends are deliberately made with less sugar, including a 100% cacao option with no added sugar.
Cocoa solids, cacao mass and cocoa butter create a very different experience from a heavily sweetened instant hot chocolate powder. Texture, depth and flavour matter.
Cacao naturally contains compounds including theobromine and polyphenols. We’re interested in understanding these properly — without turning interesting science into exaggerated promises.
Dark chocolate and cacao naturally contribute fibre alongside their characteristic flavour and texture. The exact nutritional profile varies by blend and serving size.
Morning. Work. Movement. Recovery. Evening. Function is not only about ingredients — it is also about creating rituals people can realistically return to.
Our approach
We’re building 80Noir Ultra® around the meeting point between exceptional chocolate, modern wellbeing and evidence. Where research is established, we’ll explain it. Where we’re still asking questions, we’ll say so.
One ingredient. Different expressions.
There isn't one correct way to drink dark chocolate. Different cacao strengths create different flavour profiles, sweetness levels and moments.
Function isn't one moment.
We don't think functional wellness should require another complicated routine.
Chocolate already belongs in people's lives. The opportunity is to make that ritual more considered.
Inside cacao
Cacao is chemically complex. Rather than reducing it to a list of fashionable wellness claims, we're interested in understanding what is naturally there — and what the evidence actually tells us.
One of the naturally occurring methylxanthines found in cacao. It is part of what makes cacao chemically distinct from many other everyday foods and drinks.
Cacao naturally contains polyphenolic compounds. Their presence, concentration and relevance vary depending on cacao, processing and the finished product.
Cacao and dark chocolate naturally contain fibre, with the precise nutritional profile depending on the particular blend and serving.
That's why our long-term approach includes research rather than relying on wellness language simply because it sounds appealing.
Evidence over exaggeration
Functional wellness deserves more than fashionable ingredients and ambitious promises.
We're interested in the space where exceptional chocolate, lived experience and credible evidence meet.
So when we know something, we'll explain it. When we're researching it, we'll tell you. And when the evidence isn't there yet, we won't pretend otherwise.
Start where you are.
Different cacao strengths. Different moments. Same belief that chocolate should still taste extraordinary.
