Award-Winning 85% Dark Chocolate from Nicaragua's La Dalia Region
Friis-Holm La Dalia 85% earned a Gold medal at the 2023 International Chocolate Awards. This exceptional single-origin bar celebrates biodiversity, crafted from a unique blend of cacao varieties from ten small-scale growers cultivating known and unknown old heritage trees in Nicaragua's La Dalia region.
A Deliberate Mix That Defies Convention
What makes La Dalia distinctive is its unconventional approach: the cacao varieties are intentionally left unsorted by type. Mikkel Friis-Holm discovered this natural mix of heritage cacaos ferments extraordinarily well together—creating one of the finest results the chocolate house has ever achieved.
Intense Flavor for Dark Chocolate Connoisseurs
With 85% cacao content, La Dalia delivers strong aromatic acidity balanced with deep, complex cacao notes. This is dark chocolate for those who appreciate intensity and purity—a bar that showcases the raw character of Nicaraguan cacao and meticulous bean-to-bar craftsmanship without compromise.

World's Best Chocolate, Made Without Compromise
Friis-Holm Chocolate has earned global recognition as one of the world's finest chocolate makers, winning gold medals at the International Chocolate Awards for ten consecutive years. Founded by Danish chef Mikkel Friis-Holm in 2008, this exceptional chocolate house creates award-winning chocolate that delights the world's most discerning palates—including three-Michelin-starred Restaurant Jordnær. From a small factory in Herslev, outside Roskilde, Mikkel proves that excellence and ethics can coexist. CPHAGEN is proud to bring these extraordinary chocolates to chocolate lovers across Europe.
True Bean-to-Bar Craftsmanship Rooted in Direct Farmer Partnerships
Mikkel Friis-Holm controls every step from cacao bean to finished bar, working directly with farmers in Nicaragua and beyond to ensure both exceptional quality and fair, sustainable practices. By paying farmers for quality rather than weight and providing knowledge for healthier plantations, Friis-Holm has witnessed farmer prosperity increase over 15 years. This respectful partnership guarantees the finest cacao while supporting farming communities to thrive—chocolate without the bitter taste of a guilty conscience.
Meticulous Processing That Reveals Terroir
Friis-Holm's dedication to detail is legendary. The same Nicaraguan Chuno cacao variety, fermented with different turning schedules, creates distinct flavor profiles—one soft and warm with dark berry notes, the other complex with tannic, red wine-like character. Every batch undergoes carefully monitored fermentation and slow drying that preserves nuanced flavors most producers sacrifice for speed. This patient approach transforms raw cacao's bitterness into approachable complexity, revealing the unique terroir of each origin.
Century-Old Techniques for Silky Perfection
While modern production prioritizes efficiency, Friis-Holm embraces time-honored techniques. Mikkel's 100-year-old conching machine stirs chocolate for days to achieve impossibly smooth texture. This antique equipment, combined with his chef-trained palate, produces chocolate that showcases individual cacao varieties with the sophistication wine enthusiasts expect from single-vineyard vintages. Friis-Holm is elevating chocolate culture—celebrating origin, variety, and craftsmanship above all.
Artisan Excellence and a Mission to Define Quality
Beyond award-winning bars, Friis-Holm creates extraordinary filled chocolates using unique Danish ingredients, often developing a single piece for over a year. Collaborations with Stauning Whisky and Frederiksdal Cherry Wine showcase Mikkel's culinary artistry and obsessive attention to detail. This dedication has made Friis-Holm a favorite of Denmark's top chefs. Mikkel's mission remains clear: help define what quality chocolate is and should be, proving that mastery creates something far more rewarding than the easier path.
