Rózsavölgyi Csokoládé 72% Madagascar Trinitario Bean Chocolate

                                   

About: If your mother was a chocolate maker, and your mother loved you very much, and your mother wrapped some chocolate for you ever so lovingly and carefully to take to school for lunch, it would look like this. But it's not likely that your mother could make a chocolate that tasted this good.

This Hungarian  chocolate is made in Budapest from just beans, sugar, and cocoa butter. They (I'd like to put their name here, but Holy Weird Letters Batman, I can't) make a bunch of different bars, including single source bars like this one and strange chocolates like 'rusty tools' and mustuaches! (Chocolate in the shape of rusty tools and chocolate mustaches. How did you live without those?!?). They make cocoa butter and other bars and truffles, and based on the care put into this bar, I want to try them all.

Flavor: This bar has the fresh taste of a bean-to-bar chocolate. You will be hit over the head with a rich, fruity flavor filled with notes of berry. The flavor lasts and lasts. It's awesome.

Texture: While it's slightly brittle, ever so slightly, I have no complaints.

My rating:  A nice 8 for superlative flavor.

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.
