Fortunato Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Dates

A chocolate dessert with dates!

Not everybody is a date person, but here at Fortunato Chocolate, WE ARE! We looked for the right date for a long time and finally we received a sample of organic Medjool dates from a date farm in Coachella, CA and we were blown away.

We pair these big, creamy, organic dates with our Fortunato No. 4 68% Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate turns out to be a great pairing with dates, at least our opinion. Dark chocolate reels in the natural sweetness of dates, and this is a good thing, especially with the dates we use, because sometimes dates blow out your palate from being so sweet.

We think it is fair to describe this product as something like a whole food version of a sea salt caramel. The dates from Coachella are so sweet and creamy that they almost remind you of a caramel.

With a touch of sea salt, you really get that great sweet and salt contrast that so many of us love.

If you are a chocolate Medjool date lover, don't hesitate to pick up a bag today!

All of our products come with a 100% unconditional, no questions asked, money back guarantee. If you are unhappy for any reason, just send us an email and ask for a full refund.

Enjoy these fine luxury chocolate dates!

Fortunato Chocolate is known for its rich fruit and nutty flavors, floral aroma, smooth texture, and lack of bitterness.

The Pure Naçional trees that grow the cacao used in our chocolate have the distinction of being the oldest, rarest, and most sought after in the world. So rare in fact, that they were thought to be extinct by the early 20th century, wiped out by disease. The happenstance discovery in a remote valley of the northern Peruvian jungle by Dan Pearson and Brian Horsley would eventually lead the founding of Fortunato No. 4 and the reintroduction of the world to this exquisite tasting chocolate.

All of our confections are made by hand in our chocolate kitchen in Issaquah, WA.

The amount of chocolate we have available for the general public is in limited supply due to demand from pastry chefs and chocolatiers. If you are a chocolate lover, don't hesitate!

  • 68% Fortunato No. 4 Dark Chocolate
    • organically grown cacao and cocoa butter - 68%
    • cane sugar - 32%
  • Organic medjool dates
  • Sea salt

Great ingredients and awesome decadence

Wonderful chocolates. I finally found a chocolate that goes along with my clean eating. Was looking for pure ingredients and found it. I recommend this product!

Heavenly Dates

A friend gifted me a bag of these and I really needed to hide them because they are so delicious. In fact, now I’m truly addicted. I just purchased three more bags. The dates are very high quality as is the chocolate. They arrived in great condition too, all the way to Hawaii! The giant dark chocolate bar is crazy good too…unlike anything I have tasted and I’ve sampled many. Good to hear the low lead and cadmium numbers! I’m totally in love!

Very BAD

Package did not have an expiration date on it. After opening I could not believe how bad they were in every way. #1 They were all melted together into one glob & had a white coating on many of the lumps. I think that the is caused by warming & re cooling. I might be incorrect but i believe when i was young & had a Hershey bar that sat in the sun & put the remaining half in the frig. to get it hard again, it had a white coat.
I had also purchased dark chocolate covered mango which was in the same condition. The only good thing was the fruit which was good but overpowered the taste of chocolate.
I would never buy from this company & don't understand how they can stay in business. The high price I would buy the fruit at a grocery store with money left over.

Hi William, I'm very sorry that your package suffered from heat damage, which I can assure you that every problem you're mentioning in your review is directly attributable to heat damage, as you even noted. It's pretty well impossible to avoid since chocolate melts so easily, which is why we have the following posted on every product page and again highlighted in our sales cart:
===============================

Thank you so much for your interest in our chocolate! PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE DOES NOT APPLY TO HEAT DAMAGED CHOCOLATE. It's getting warmer! It is essential to check your local weather first. After you order, plan on 5-7 days for your chocolate's arrival. Takes 2-3 days to prepare; 3-4 days for UPS delivery. See below for more details on the heat damage policy. Posted April 6, 2023

It seems you must have missed the warnings, we really apologize. Short of not offering shipping to warmer locations, we're struggling to know what more we can do to avoid exactly this issue. Again, very sorry for the heat damage, and many thanks for your business.

Saludos,

One of the few things I miss about being in Iraq is my access to dates. Before I purchased I never even conceived the idea of chocolate covered dates. The sea salt and Fortunato dark chocolate PERFECTLY complement the richness of the date. Everyone I've shared them with absolutely loves them, and best of all they are totally guilt free! Customer for life!
