ChocolatesAmbriona Daarzel 70% Dark Sugar-Free Roasted Hazelnut Chocolate
Who it is for
- People who want sugar free chocolate that still tastes like dessert
- Diabetics and keto snackers avoiding maltitol bars
- Shoppers who like dark chocolate + whole hazelnuts
Ingredients audit
Core lineup: cacao solids (beans + butter), allulose, whole hazelnuts, FOS, chicory root powder, vanilla.
Good signs:
- Allulose instead of maltitol — better glycemic story for most people
- Real cacao + cocoa butter base
- Whole roasted hazelnuts (texture, not just flavour)
- Vegan formula in our catalog
- No palm oil
Watch-outs:
- Still calorie-dense (~540 kcal/100g) — sugar free ≠ free-for-all
- FOS / chicory fiber can bloat if you eat half a bar at once
- Allulose is less common in India; some people notice a mild cooling sweetness
Taste and texture
Expect 70% dark with a clear hazelnut crunch — sweeter and more approachable than Amul 99% or Sihi 100%. It is the bar you give a sugar-eater when you are trying to convert them without the bitterness shock.
If you only like milk chocolate, it may still feel “dark.” If you only like unsweetened baking chocolate, it may feel “sweet.” That middle is intentional.
Pros and cons

Bottom line
Ambriona Daarzel is the right first sugar free chocolate if you want sweetness + crunch without maltitol. For pure bitter cacao or organic couverture baking, switch brands — not because Ambriona is “bad,” but because the job is different. Start here vs Amul: Ambriona vs Amul 99%.
