Description
Large Ragusa Dark is a generous format of the classic Swiss specialty, combining rich dark chocolate with whole hazelnuts and a smooth praline centre. Intense, nutty, and perfectly balanced, it offers a more refined and less sweet interpretation of the iconic Ragusa experience.
What does Large Ragusa Dark taste like?
The dark chocolate coating delivers a smooth, velvety texture with deep cocoa notes and a pleasant, well balanced bitterness.
Inside, whole roasted hazelnuts add a satisfying crunch and rich aroma, while the creamy hazelnut praline filling brings natural sweetness and softness. The contrast between intense cocoa and smooth nutty richness creates a layered and elegant flavour profile.
History of Ragusa chocolate:
Ragusa was created in 1942 by Swiss family company Camille Bloch, founded in 1929. Recognisable by its rectangular shape and generous whole hazelnuts embedded in praline, it quickly became one of Switzerland’s most beloved chocolate specialties.
Dark variations were later introduced to offer a richer cocoa character while preserving the original recipe concept and craftsmanship.
Where is Large Ragusa Dark made?
All Camille Bloch products are manufactured in Courtelary, in the Bernese Jura region of Switzerland, ensuring authentic Swiss quality and traditional production standards.
When to enjoy Large Ragusa Dark?
The large format is ideal for sharing with family and friends, serving at gatherings, or enjoying gradually over time.
Its rich cocoa profile pairs beautifully with espresso or black coffee and makes an excellent gift for dark chocolate lovers.
