Vita Organic Foods 72% Raw cacao

                                   

About: Vita Organic foods make a handful (and then some) of dark chocolates infused with flavors. They also make juices and "performance" bars. There's not a lot of information on their web site, but you can tell they are into 'raw.' If you believe raw chocolate is better for you, then you may find reasons to eat this bar. If you eat chocolate for the sheer delight of rich, complex flavors and creamy smoothness, then move along - nothing to see here folks.

Flavor: Raw. Some raw stuff is good - sometimes you want to have that flavor of freshly mowed grass or unripe banana. Sometimes you don't, though, and for me, this is one of those times.

Texture: You'd hope it was smoother or silkier or even just normal, but it's chalky and almost gritty. Did not like. 

My rating: An unfortunate 4 that feels generous to me. I'm sorry. 

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.
