About: Vanini is a family-owned Italian chocolate that is sourced from Peru. They have modern factories, with pictures on their web site. As someone that believe modern technology can make everything better than old, hand-made approaches, I approve. They manufacture a bunch of different dark chocolates, but this is the deepest and darkest. Does their Peruvian cocoa taste different? mmmm.. not so sure.
Flavor: Their cocoa tastes well roasted, but not overly burned. The level of sweetness is pleasant. The eating experience starts with sweetness, then the cocoa flavor comes in, followed by an acidic phase and long residual notes. And while that all sounds good, the flavor is not all that varied. I've had 'broader' experiences, if that makes sense.
Texture: Oooh... for an 86% bar, this is nice and creamy. Nice job.
My rating: 8.0, on the scale of 1-10, where 10 means 'mind shockingly good' and 1 means 'would not bother'. The texture is auspicious, and the flavor is good, but not stellar.
Back to the list of bars
