Nestlé dessert Noir

Nestlé dessert Noir surprises at rank 8, a dessert chocolate that packs a D eco-score and E nutri-score, revealing Nestlé’s struggle to address sustainability issues while competing in the dark segment. Priced at $4.20 per 100g—5% higher than #7 Fin Carré—it offers a 10% larger serving size (120g vs. 108g), but this volume advantage does not offset its 45% sugar content, which is 2.5 times the benchmark for premium dark chocolates. The bar’s 50% cocoa content categorizes it as a hybrid, aiming to transition milk-chocolate fans to darker profiles; nevertheless, it loses 15% of tasters to #5’s Maruja’s creamy milk alternative. Nestlé’s global distribution network ensures 95% availability, yet the eco-score remains a persistent 2 points below industry average.
