Chocolove xoxox Extreme Dark Chocolate 88%









About: Chocolove is manufactured in Boulder Colorado, where they claim the dry, mountain air is part of their secret "European tradition" chocolate making. Um.. okay. The chocolate, at least according to the web site, is a founder's pursuit of a dream. A guy that eats two chocolate bars a day who developed a passion for chocolate and founded a company and the rest is history. \

They currently make about 24 varieties of chocolate, with this bar being the darkest of them all.

Flavor:  Like many high cocoa content bars, the flavor takes a while to come. I'd not say that it's very fruity, but it's a deep, pleasing flavor with only a hint of bitterness. +1 

Texture: Good and smooth.Very nice. Not brittle. I like.

My rating: A very good bar with a solid 7. For above average texture and solid, if not overwhelmingly subtle, flavor.

Rating Value Meaning
1 Really bad chocolate. There's something just really really wrong here in almost every imaginable respect.
2 A bar with this rating has at least two drawbacks.
3 A bar where something is starting to get seriously wrong.... for example, really weak flavor with an otherwise acceptable texture.
4 This bar is below average, but just slightly. Mostly it's not worth eating again. Something isn't quite up to par, for example a poor texture but fine flavor.
5 This is an average good bar that's worth eating. There's nothing really wrong with it, but also nothing particularly spectacular. Or, perhaps it has a good characteristic that's evenly counter-weighted by something weak.
6 A solidly good bar with one characteristic that's above par, for example a great texture.
7 An solidly good chocolate that has two above par characteristics, but nothing mind-blowing. Good, above average flavor, but nothing to die for.
8 An excellent bar with no weaknesses and at least one characteristic that's super.
9 An awesome bar to die for with amazing texture and flavor.
10 You have been touched by God.
