VALRHONAPremium Extra Dark Chocolate ABINAO 85% Cacao Tasting Bars - Gourmet French Chocolate Perfect for Eating and Baking and Frostings, Cookies, Cakes, and Brownies. Kosher, 70g (Pack of 1)

the best chocolate in the world!

I love dark chocolate but this was just sort of 'meh' for me.

First of all, been soaking up and tasting 90%er for10+ yrs and order three of your bars. And, I read thru your long hit list on how to complete the tasting of your bars and anticipated it would be unbelievable, was disappointed. I love your marketing, however, I also purchased at the same time 86% intense ghirardelli single cube wrap and went thru your same tasting process and to my pleasant surprise the cubes are about 18% smoother tasting and fresher!! Like a fine wine, don't follow some of the bs marketing stuff, wait for the taste! But, maybe I didn't give the bar enough time??

I just ordered so can’t report on taste - but a leading consumer magazine just found this chocolate to have the lowest levels of heavy metals of any that they tested. If you don’t mind eating chocolate with cadmium levels much higher than what’s allowed in California or Europe ( not regulated in America except in California) then you might prefer cheaper options.
