About: El Artesano seems to have started as a manufacturer of nougat and marzipan that has "new products," including this 70% bar, as well as milk chocolate and chocolate with other ingredients,such as orange. While I have been generally underwhelmed by the other chocolates I've found in Spain, this bar is pretty good.
Flavor: This is a nice bar. It is not stellar, but very good with satisfying flavor. There are no bitter or burned overtones, and perhaps its main weakness is the fruity flavors that are not very strong. The palate is left with a happy, satisfied flavor that wants more. The almonds come through well.
Texture: Smooth with satisfying almond crunchiness. Middle of the road creaminess, but not brittle. The almond pieces are large and satisfying.
My rating: 8, on the scale of 1-10, where 10 means 'mind shockingly good' and 1 means 'would not bother'. Quite nice!
