Cello Chocolate Trinidad Bourbon Barrel Aged 70%





                                   
About: Cello is a hand-crafted chocolate made in Nevada city, California. Their website reflects an appealing bean-to-bar passion. They sell a number of single source bars, all at 70%. No milky stuff here.

Flavor: Bourbon. You like bourbon? You'll like this bar. The flavor is a bit overwhelming to my taste, but I'm not a big fan of the bourbon. The chocolate itself is pleasant and rich, but you have to look for it under the bourbon flavor, which lasts from start to finish.

Texture:Smooth enough, but not mindbogglingly so.

My rating:  A 6 to 7 for flavor and smoothness and fresh 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.
