Cachet 71% Costa Rica Dark Chocolate





                                   
About: Cachet is a Belgian brand started in 1987. They make a broad rage of bars and filled chocolates, and they claim to be the biggest Belgian exporter to Canada and the US. Hmm.. Bigger than Godiva? Really? Well... they've definitely been successful and have a nice chocolate collection. The chocolate is good, though maybe even better than I tasted.

Flavor:  Honestly, I'm not sure. The bar I had was a bit out of date, so this isn't a fair assessment. Definitely fruity. Definitely earthy. Completely fine.

Texture: See above. Giving them the benefit of the doubt and will revisit. 

My rating: A 7. 

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.
