Lindt Excellence is usually what people mean when they search for "proper" dark chocolate rather than a standard milk bar — it's positioned specifically around cocoa percentage and quality, which is exactly what shoppers comparing dark chocolate bars are trying to check.
Built around cocoa percentage, not just "dark"
The Excellence range is Lindt's line explicitly built to showcase higher cocoa content, with bars typically labelled by their cocoa percentage (70%, 85%, 90% and so on) rather than just "dark chocolate." Lindt is a Swiss chocolatier with a long history of smooth, conched chocolate production, and Excellence is where that technique gets applied to darker, more intense cocoa blends alongside flavoured variants.
Why the flavoured Excellence bars exist alongside the plain percentage bars
Alongside the straightforward dark percentage bars, Lindt uses the Excellence name for flavour-paired bars — pistachio, orange, chilli, sea salt and so on — pairing a dark or milk chocolate base with an add-in. It's the same "Excellence" quality positioning, just extended into flavour territory rather than staying purely about cocoa percentage.

FAQ
What does the cocoa percentage on a dark chocolate bar actually mean?
It's the proportion of the bar made up of cocoa solids and cocoa butter combined. Higher percentages generally mean less sugar and a more intense, more bitter chocolate flavour.
Is Lindt Excellence the same as Lindt Lindor?
No — Excellence is Lindt's bar range built around cocoa percentage and flavour pairings, while Lindor is the brand's soft-centred truffle range. Both are Lindt products but different lines entirely.
Is Lindt Excellence in stock at Supreme Sweets right now?
Not currently — both the Excellence lines we carry (Milk Extra Creamy and Pistachio Dark) are out of stock at the moment.
What Lindt chocolate can I actually buy from you right now?
The Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffles Box 337g and the Lindt Swiss Luxury Selection Box 193g are both in stock.
