L'Amourette 72% Cacao Raspberry (that was really Ginger)






                                   
About: L'Amourette is a San Fracisco brand of chocolate. The most interesting about this bar was that it was packaged as Raspberry but was actually Ginger inside. They make many flavors of chocolate (including, duh, Ginger!), and I have had a few and always enjoyed them.


Flavor: The Ginger comes through nicely, with a bit of a pungent bite. The chocolate is solidly earthy and full,without the fruitiness of a bean-to-bar chocolate.

Texture: The Ginger in this bar is ... well... Ginger. So it is a big chewy and doesn't necessarily match the smooth, creamy texture of the chocolate. But the chocolate is pleasantly smooth.

My rating:  A nice 7.


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.
