Eh there’s a science to tasting chocolates one ok! Check out Luxby’s 5 step guide to tasting chocolates.
#1: Fearless Chocolate 75% Cacao Midnight
This has a really very strong, bold flavour to it. I found it interesting that although it has only has 2 ingredients in it: Organic Cacao and Organic Rapadura (unrefined whole cane sugar), but it’s very smooth and melts wonderfully in your mouth. Loving this. Do note that if you love the usual mass-produced commercial chocolates, you probably won’t like this. I like this cos of the dark, almost bitter taste to it. Very strong aftertaste too.

#2: Original Beans Beni Wild Harvest 66% Wild Dark Chocolate
This one is a lot easier for more people to like. When placed in room temperature for 5 mins, you can easily break a small part to try. It’s flavour is definitely a lot milder than the previous one but it’s equally as pleasing. I would totally recommend this to anyone. This has a delicate yet distinct taste with floral honey, sundered cranberries, melon and hints of jasmine tea.

#3: The Grenada Chocolate Company Organic Dark Chocolate with 71% Cocoa
This has a lovely thick and fudgy taste with a sharp intense floral note. I’m not sure what it is… but there’s something special in it’s taste. This is a lot thicker than the others as well. There’s something sourish in there as well but disappears quickly and the dark cocoa taste quickly takes over. Interesting.
