L'Amourette 72% Caco Ginger Dark Chocolate















About: The L'amourette website has a (hopefully fabricated) story of the young, love-spurned chocolatier who wins his love's hand in marriage through chocolate. I'd rather be loved for my body, but whatever. Where they fall short on marketing - for example their currently empty list of distributors - they compensate with solidly tasty chocolate.


Flavor: Ginger flavor, like coffee, is a cheat. You add it to almost anything to elucidate exclamations of "oooh... ginger" (hopefully for the ginger, not the coffee). So it is here, where the piquant flavor comes through from the first bite. The chocolate itself has a nice aroma - always a good sign - even before eating it. This is a pleasant bar, with a good chocolate flavor.

Texture: Smooth, except for the bits of ginger. If I have a complaint it's that the pieces are large and hard to bite into small mouthfuls. You have to take the whole, thick (oy!) large piece in your mouth (oy oy!) at once. But... that's not the end of the world, if you're into having chocolate into you.


My rating: Great 8.5 chocolate - maybe more -   on the scale of 1-10, where 10 means 'mind shockingly good' and 1 means 'would not bother'. L'Amourette has many flavored chocolates, and they're all worth tasting.
