About: Amatller is a Catalonian chocolate made in Barcelona since 1797. On their web site you'll find the type of content that chocolate lovers care about, for example, "how to store chocolate." They have nice marketing, but... overall I haven't been overly impressed with the chocolates. You can read about some of the other bars I've tried elsewhere on this blog.
Flavor: The flavor is smokey and relatively full. There are nutty notes, and the flavor profile is pleasant with a long-lasting finish.
Texture: Slightly brittle for a 70% bar. But it has a good smooth finish.
My rating: 4.5 on the scale below. Had to give it just below a 5, because the flavor just fell short and the texture just fell short. Given a choice, I wouldn't really bother with this bar again.
| 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. |
