The term 'bitter chocolate' refers exclusively to the pure, unsweetened product. It is not used to describe a subjective taste experience (e.g., "This chocolate tastes bitter"). For that meaning, the adjective "bitter" would be applied separately (e.g., "The dark chocolate was too bitter for my taste"). The compound noun specifically names the ingredient.
