Amatller Chocolate 85% cacao Origen Ecuador
About: Amatller is a Catalonian chocolate made in Barcelona since 1797. On their web site you'll find the type of content that chocolate lovers care about, for example, "how to store chocolate."The chocolate itself is good, though perhaps disappointing in the context of 200+ years of chocolate making from a country that brought chocolate to the west. But it's good chocolate, and way (cripes way) better than some brands with massive distribution and marketing machines.
Flavor: Slightly sour - just slightly. Deep and earthy. Nice profile. But only slightly fruity. It would be nice to compare the Ghana and Equador versions of this 85% bar, but I find them different but hard to differentiate.
Texture: Brittle and a bit crunchy, but with smooth follow-though.
My rating: 8.2 ... better than 8 but not much. Would have again, but there are better options.
Here, 10 means 'mind shockingly good' and 1 means 'would not bother'.
