House Blend 70% Cacao

House Blend 70% Cacao is the everyday bar at Bahen & Co: a selection of single-plantation cacaos, stone ground into a chocolate in the maker's own house style. It has two ingredients, cocoa beans and raw sugar, and the bar is 75 g.

Bahen & Co's other plain dark chocolates we list are House Blend 88% Cacao, which has the same two ingredients with more cacao and so less sugar, and which the maker calls its darker House Blend. The Bakers Couverture Bar is also 70% cacao but is a 500 g bar of heirloom cacao made for cooking.

Made by Bahen & Co, a bean-to-bar chocolate maker on the family farm at Margaret River, which roasts with a machine from the 1930s and grinds with one from around 1910.

Seeing it in person

Bahen & Co publishes no shop or farm visit details. Its contact page gives a postal address in Margaret River only (checked 12 October 2026).

Delivery

Bahen & Co posts by Express Australia Post, which it says takes 3 to 7 working days. It does not ship on Fridays, so chocolate is not left in a depot over a weekend, and hot weather can delay orders (shipping page, checked 12 October 2026).

Questions

What is in House Blend 70%?
Cocoa beans and raw sugar, the maker says.

How is it different from the 88%?
Both are the House Blend with the same two ingredients. The 88% has more cacao and therefore less sugar, so it is the more bitter of the two.
