Suchard 85% cocoa

 






















About: Suchard is another Mondelez brand (Eeek Milka! Cote d'Or!). But the company has roots in Switzerland, where its founder, Phillipe Suchard, was born and (supposedly) recognized the potential of chocolate at age 12. They've been making chocolate since 1826. Their website is slick, but I can't even find this bar there. Shrug.

Flavor: Pleasantly okay. It's a bit bitter and it's not particularly fruity, but it's solid, earthy and full.

Texture:Very smooth, as seems to be the case with the larger (older?) producers.

My rating:  7 or 8. The Texture is great. The flavor is really okay.



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.
