Sensory Description:

Rich cacao leads the profile, balanced by the creamy, rounded character of milk chocolate. Ranger's signature notes of malt and butter give the bar a warm, gently savory richness, while the higher cacao presence brings greater depth and bittersweet definition than a conventional milk chocolate. The texture is smooth and melting, moving from concentrated cocoa into creamy malt before finishing with lingering chocolate and buttery richness.

Producer’s Background:

Ranger Chocolate Co. was founded in Portland, Oregon, in 2013 by George Domurot and David Beanland with a commitment to producing premium chocolate from carefully and responsibly sourced cacao. Founder and Head Chocolate Maker George Domurot leads a bean-to-bar approach in which Ranger makes its chocolate from scratch at its Portland factory, beginning with cacao roasting and continuing through chocolate production and hand wrapping. The company emphasizes organic ingredients and cacao sourced through verified, ethical, and transparent channels meeting Fair Trade standards or better. The Dark Milk Chocolate Bar reflects Ranger's approach to familiar chocolate styles, combining pronounced cacao character with the creamy texture and malted richness associated with milk chocolate.

Serving Suggestions:

Enjoy at cool room temperature to allow the chocolate to melt gradually and reveal its malt, butter, and cacao character. Serve on its own, alongside espresso or brewed coffee, or pair with black tea, roasted nuts, dried fruit, or a mild to moderately aged cheese. For the clearest expression of its texture and aroma, avoid serving directly from the refrigerator.
