Perugina 70% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate
About: Perugina is an Italian brand that started in 1907 in Pergnia and was bought by Nestle in 1988. They are proud (and known) of their Baci (Italian for kiss - are you reading this, Hershey?) chocolates, but they have a broad line of chocolates and even hard candies (ewww.. lack of focus... eww... confection contamination ... oh well, never mind, I'll get over it). There are a number of not-that-great Italian chocolate makers with international reach, but Perugina isn't one oft them. Their chocolates are excellent.
Flavor: Mellow - not sour, bitter, or harsh. It's a rich, mouth-filling flavor that lasts and lasts, with fruity follow-through. If I have a criticism, it's that it's slightly sweet for my taste, but that's personal. This is an excellent chocolate bar.
Texture: Creamy and quite smooth.
My rating: 9.0 on the scale of 1-10, where 10 means 'mind shockingly good' and 1 means 'would not bother'. This is one of the better bars I have had.
