Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions we hear most often.
Real chocolate gets its fat from cocoa butter, the natural fat of the cocoa bean. Compound chocolate replaces some or all of it with cheaper vegetable fats such as palm kernel oil. These are easier to work with but don't melt as cleanly, and can leave a waxy feel in the mouth. Revello is made with 100% pure cocoa butter.
Cocoa butter is solid at room temperature but melts just below body temperature. That's why good chocolate snaps cleanly when broken, then melts smoothly on the tongue and releases its full flavour. Revello has been made with 100% pure cocoa butter since 2011, sourced from Ivory Coast and Ghana, which together grow more than half of the world's cocoa.
Milk chocolate is typically made from sugar, milk powder, cocoa butter and cocoa mass, with a small amount of emulsifier such as soya lecithin for a smooth texture. The milk gives it a creamier, milder taste than dark chocolate. Revello milk chocolate is made with 100% pure cocoa butter, and the range is Halal certified by the Halal Accreditation Council of Sri Lanka.
Revello's Classic bars come in milk, almond, cashew, hazelnut, crispies and fruit & nut. Finemelts is a 300g bar in milk, cashew and hazelnut, and Minis are small milk chocolate portions. The range also includes Dark, Krunch wafers, Bliss biscuits and Piccolo sugar-coated milk chocolate. In 2024, Revello won a Silver Monde Selection Award for taste and quality.
Dark chocolate prices depend on bar size, cocoa content and whether the chocolate is sweetened. Revello's dark range includes Eclipse Dark Chocolate and Sugar Free Dark Chocolate, both sold in 50g and 100g bars. Dark chocolate has more cocoa solids and little or no milk, giving it a deeper, slightly bitter flavour.
Yes. Revello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate is made in Sri Lanka by CBL, with no sugar. Dark chocolate works well sugar free because its higher cocoa content carries the flavour. It is available in 50g and 100g bars at supermarkets and groceries across the country.
Yes. Revello Bliss, launched in 2023, is a chocolate-coated biscuit sold in 100g packs. Revello Krunch is a crispy wafer coated in milk chocolate, available in hazelnut, milky caramel and salted peanut butter.
Yes. Revello makes chocolate for professional kitchens, including Caterer's Premium Dark Chocolate, Professional Milk Chocolate and Professional White Chocolate. Cooking chocolate made with cocoa butter melts more fluidly and sets with a better shine than compound chocolate, which matters for coatings, ganache and desserts.
