About: Auboine is a Las Vegas based chocolatier that sells chocolate there and in San Francisco airport. Maybe as you read this, kind gentle reader, they've opened up other retail facilities, in which case you should visit them. Their chocolate is good, and they seem proud to serve the local Las Vegas upscale casinos. I wouldn't be. Those casinos are filled with cretins, but I digress.
The company is named after the founder, and they make a good number of bean to bar and other flavored chocolates and chocolate related products, like spreads, and other confections.
Flavor: Really good. Fruity. Earthy. Full flavored. +1
Texture: Nice and smooth. Nothing wrong here. + 1
My rating: Pleasant. Solid 7 for solidly good flavor and nice texture.
| 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. |
