Chocolate Amatller 70% 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."I want to like them for their heritage, their turn-of-the-last-century style, and because the Spanish are chocolate underdogs. But perhaps, at the end of the day, there's a reason for their underdogness.


Flavor: Pretty good. The chocolate has a long flavor profile that comes in quickly and lasts a satisfyingly long time. It's much better after the initial bite, with deep earthy flavors that last and last.


Texture: The texture is a bit on the brittle and waxy side. Just a bit. When eating this chocolate, after the initial crunch, which is a tad crunchy, you'll get a sort of ball of chocolate that wants to stick together like peanut butter. Could be creamier.

My rating: Solid 8.0. 

Here,  10 means 'mind shockingly good' and 1 means 'would not bother'.
