About: Whittaker's chocolate is made in New Zealand. Since 1896. Wow. This is a huge bar with big pieces, targeted, no doubt, at hungry, hungry sheep rearing people who need a lot of chocolate to satisfy their awesome-scenery induced hunger. This chocolate is made from beans from Ghana (and they also make bars from beans from Madagascar). But... for a bean-to-bar chocolate, it could be better.
So... it's quantity. Quality? not so much.
Flavor: It's okay. It's a very warm flavor, that's pleasantly mellow. It's chocolatey, without any intense fruitiness or intense anything.
Texture: Smooth enough, but you aren't going to call mom and tell her what you just ate.
My rating: Solidly okay at 6 for that interesting warm, smooth 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. |
