About: Founded in 1987 by Larry and Paula, a husband and wife team who fell in love with chocolate and with style. The chocolates are nicely presented and expertly made. I had a drinking chocolate at their Boston store, which was not super impressed with. It was a bit grainy and not well mixed. But.. the bars are superb.
Flavor: Very good. I really need to describe each single source bar separately, and I'll edit this post to do so. The one I've had was delicate, fruity, full flavored, and rich.
Texture: Creamy. Excellent.
My rating: For a solidly good texture and a solidly completely-okay flavor, a good 8 on the scale below for flavor, texture, and artisanship.
| 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. |
