Hyderabad-based Manam Chocolate has earned a spot on TasteAtlas’s prestigious list of the ‘100 Best Chocolates in the World,’ with its 66 percent Dark Chocolate ranking at Number 81. The recognition shines a light on India’s growing presence in the global craft chocolate movement.

The 66 percent Dark Chocolate is a single-origin creation, crafted using cacao sourced exclusively from Idukki, Kerala. The region is known for producing high-quality cacao beans with a complex flavour profile, thanks to its tropical climate and fertile soil.


The 66 percent cocoa content offers a balanced intensity that appeals to both dark chocolate enthusiasts and those new to darker varieties.



Originally located in the Banjara Hills area of Hyderabad, Manam Chocolate is a Pan-India premium handcrafted chocolate store. It is a celebrated destination among chocolate enthusiasts. Their chocolate is known for its creations that blend regional and unique ingredients like gondhoraj lime, chilli and guntur karam.

Other notable mentions on the list include Goodnow Farms Maker’s Choice’s Asochivite with Maple Sugar from the USA and Hoja Verde Chocolate’s Orange 66 percent Organic Bar from Ecuador.

The absence of chocolates from Mexico and Guatemala, considered the birthplace of chocolate, came as a surprise to many enthusiasts.

TasteAtlas, known for curating global food rankings, recently made headlines when Butter Garlic Naan from India was voted the best bread in the world on October 16. Together, these mentions reflect how Indian culinary traditions — from breads to cacao — are increasingly being celebrated on international platforms.
