About: Lindt makes a lot of chocolate, and it's distributed world wide. I find their chocolate to be generally pretty okay, though different lines seem to vary (to my taste). This chocolate was made in Italy, and it's on the better side.
Flavor: Although this is a "low" percentage dark chocolate, 10% of the stuff inside is cocoa nibs, so there isn't too much room left for sugar, and it's not too (too) sweet. The flavor is warm and pleasant, without astringent bitterness. It's mellow, with rainsin overtones and a relatively long follow-through. Texture:Really smooth. The cocoa nibs add a nice crunch without residual wee, little bits that get stuck in your teeth.
My rating: A 7 for no bad flavors and a good texture and a nice flavor. You have a bit; then you want more.
| 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. |
