Made from a single ingredient — cocoa beans — this is 100% chocolate in its purest form, and a genuinely smooth example of the style. The texture is creamy rather than chalky, with a sweet citrus note lingering at the finish and only minimal bitterness, making it more approachable than many bars at this percentage.
For newcomers to 100% chocolate, this can still be an intense introduction — expect real astringency, and don’t be surprised if the cocoa character is initially hard to pin down beneath the texture. It’s a flavour that reveals itself more clearly with repeated tasting rather than all at once.
This is best approached the way dark chocolate at this strength deserves: in small pieces, savoured slowly. Not necessarily a first bar for beginners, but a rewarding one for those who already appreciate the style.
