Stories: Before berries ever met chocolate, they were medicine.
Long before refined sugar, berries were prized because they were one of the few foods that delivered sweetness and sharpness at the same time. Ancient cultures dried them, fermented them, steeped them into drinks - not just for flavour, but because that tart edge was a sign of freshness, potency, life.
Which is why they work so well with chocolate. Not for any magical medicinal effect, but because the tart, sweet, vibrant flavour works really well with the creamy robustness of cacao.

Fiamma tip: this is a great bar to eat slowly, piece by piece.
Try it mid-afternoon when you want something flavourful but not heavy, or alongside black tea, where the berry notes quietly echo the tea tannins.
