Shufersal 72% cocoa Dark Orange

                                     

About: This is an Israeli supermarket brand of chocolate that sports a Swiss flag as inducement to buy, and is (indeed) made in Switzerland.The regular dark chocolate isn't all that bad, and this orange stuff is made with real orange peel - not flavoring.

Flavor: Completely pleasant, though possibly underwhelming in the chocolate department with some compensation for that lack of experience with a flavorful orange department.

Texture: Smooth and nice, except you get little bits of orange peel to chew on. That's what you get when you make chocolate with orange peel, so there's no need to by whiny about it. 

My rating: I think the texture won me over. I'd be tempted to seven this one, but because the flavor falls just a tad short, I'll 6 it.

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.
