Dark Tablet 75% Salt & Turmeric, Raw Organic Cocoa
With this 75% raw cocoa dark tablet, let yourself be surprised by the bold contrast of salt and turmeric. The salt awakens and prolongs the aromas of the unroasted cocoa, while the turmeric adds a warm, soft, slightly earthy note. A combination that is one of the bestsellers of the workshop.
🍫 Why this tablet?
Salt and chocolate is a combination well-known to pastry chefs: a pinch of salt reduces bitterness and enhances the lingering taste of cocoa. Yann adds turmeric, the golden spice of Indian cuisine, for a tablet that is both intense and warm.
It's our recommendation for dark chocolate lovers who enjoy being surprised.
🍫 How to enjoy it?
Let a square melt: the salt comes first and opens up the cocoa aromas, then the turmeric gently settles in.
It pairs very well with a golden latte, chai, or coffee. In cooking, a few shavings on a mango or pineapple dessert create an amazing contrast.
Store it in a cool, dry place, between 15 and 18 °C, away from light. After taking it out of the refrigerator, let it sit for a few minutes at room temperature to release all its aromas.
🍫 Focus on the ingredients:
- Raw cocoa beans (75%): unroasted, ground for 24 hours under a stone mill.
- Turmeric (1.3%): the golden spice, for a warm, soft, and slightly earthy note.
- Salt (0.5%): just enough to awaken the cocoa and prolong its lingering taste.
- Coconut sugar and beet sugar: to balance the whole without masking the cocoa.

A 75% raw cocoa dark chocolate
With 75% unroasted cocoa beans, this tablet concentrates what makes raw cocoa interesting: its polyphenols, flavonoids, and minerals, including magnesium, largely preserved by the absence of high-temperature cooking. To understand everything, read our article on the benefits and virtues of raw cocoa.
Turmeric is a root from the ginger family, used for millennia in Indian cuisine and tradition. Its golden color comes from curcumin, its main pigment.
It remains a treat: to be savored square by square, as part of a varied and balanced diet.
SONGES AND COCOA
Songes and Cocoa is the workshop of Yann Maritaud, a chocolate artisan based in Drôme, in Crest, after several years in Lamastre in Ardèche. Yann is one of the very few French chocolatiers who make their chocolate from A to Z, from bean to bar: this is the "bean-to-bar" approach. Only 2 to 3% of chocolatiers in France work this way.
At his workshop, everything that can be done by hand is done by hand. The beans are sorted one by one, crushed, and separated from their shell, then ground for 24 hours under a stone mill to obtain cocoa paste. Each tablet is then molded by hand and packaged manually. No step is outsourced to an industrial company.
Most importantly, the beans are not roasted. While classic chocolate roasts its beans between 150 and 180 °C, Yann works with them raw, preserving the most delicate aromas of each origin, much like a grape variety for wine.
His tablets are certified Organic Agriculture and Nature & Progrès. The beans come from small cooperatives in South America, the chestnut flour from the Ferme du Châtaignier in Lamastre, and the sugar is a mix of coconut flower sugar and French beet sugar. The tablet's packaging is compostable, and the workshop's waste is used as mulch by a neighboring plant producer.
We discovered Yann's work while looking for a raw cocoa workshop, and we immediately recognized the same level of commitment as at Biovie. After a family tasting, the choice of these four tablets was obvious.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Dark Salt & Turmeric Tablet:
Why add salt to a chocolate tablet?
A pinch of salt reduces the bitterness of cocoa and enhances its aromas. Here it is dosed at 0.5%: it is clearly perceived, without making the tablet salty.
Does turmeric have a strong taste?
No, at 1.3% turmeric remains subtle: it adds a warm, soft, and slightly earthy note that complements the dark cocoa, without the spiciness of other spices.
Is this tablet vegan?
Yes: it contains only cocoa beans, coconut sugar, beet sugar, turmeric, and salt. It may contain traces of nuts.
Why does my tablet have white spots?
This is blooming: after a heat shock (during transport, for example), the cocoa butter rises to the surface and forms a white film. It's purely aesthetic, the tablet remains perfectly consumable and its taste is intact. To avoid it, store it in a cool, dry place, between 15 and 18 °C, away from light.
Why do we talk about "raw cocoa" instead of "raw chocolate"?
The term "raw chocolate" is not recognized by French regulations. Therefore, we refer to a raw cocoa tablet: the beans are not roasted, unlike classic chocolate whose beans are roasted between 150 and 180 °C. This preserves the delicate aromas of the bean.
