Martitime Extra horka Chocolate 70% cacao

 























About: This is distributed by "Sweet and Snack," a Czech firm, whose URL is imprinted on the wrapper. Do they make the chocolate? It's not clear. There are many varieties of chocolate to be had, and this bar is not at all bad. I bought it in Prague, and next time I'm there, I'll buy more.

Flavor:Full flavored with a long lasting, deeply earthy flavor. For a 70% chocolate bar, it's sweet - I don't know how that's possible. It seems to me that it should be about 30% sugar, and it should be just that sweet. Shrug. You do definitely get a nice profile here, even though it doesn't have any of the light fruity flavors a fresh bar would have.

Texture:Generally smooth, but just slightly chalky.

My rating:  Well... 7 for flavor, but maybe a 6 overall.



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.
