Superfood Amazon Berry 70% South American Origin Cacao

                                   

About:  This is the second bar I've had, from Superfoods. They make both raw and roasted cocoa based chocolate in various flavors. The flavors are strong and if you like that sort of thing, they're fine. The company itself seems to market heavily to people that believe some foods can leap others in a single bound. If you're excited about these Amazonian Berries, just remember that cabbage is also a superfood. Also remember that the amount of chocolate you're getting here is small. The bars are thin and not inexpensive.

Flavor:  Pleasantly fruity, because they injected it with pleasant fruity flavor. The chocolate is fine.But the flavor isn't somehow "real." It has a strong fruity flavor just the way juicy fruit gum does, if that's evocative. It's a strong, not-unpleasant fruity flavor, but it doesn't seem to come from real flavors .

Texture: Smooth, with little crispy bits of who-knows-what that are not at all bad. Little crispy crunch bits... I liked them.

My rating: It's a good chocolate - no doubt. I give it a 7, but with the caveat that the flavor tastes a bit fake, as if it had Tang crystals inside.

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.
