Holy Caco 70% dark chocolate Venezuela

 























About: This is an Israeli bean-to-bar chocolate. They make a handful of chocolates, mostly from single sources and as low as 45%. There's a bit of religious politics on their pages, which honestly detracts from the love of chocolate, but... it's a difficult part of the world to live in.

Flavor:The flavor is good. This is an above average bar. But if you compare it to a great bean-to-bar bar, it falls a bit short. The flavor is fruity with raisin hints, but light. The profile lasts, but not that long.

Texture: Nicely smooth. Again, on it's own, it's a fine bar, but it falls short compared to where it could be.

My rating:  8.



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.
