This chocolate flavour wheel is here to help you articulate the flavours of your fine chocolate. The file includes a flavour wheel with a white background, and one with black background. The file downloads as a .pdf

It includes major groups and flavours many find within fine dark chocolate. There are flavour wheels that are more or less complex. This wheel was designed to offer a good broad idea of possible flavours, without overwhelming the taster. Many of these flavours were extracted from countless chocolate tasting classes, as well as from peer reviewed research on chocolate flavour and aroma.

If you need more help and details on how to taste fine chocolate, please check out my page Chocolate Tasting 101 and even the Tasting Guide as well. If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

I am always looking to create tasting tools in other languages. If you don’t see a language you’re looking for, and think you can help me translate it, please contact me. Fine chocolate should be for people from around the world, and I’m happy to help reach as many people as possible!
