Chok Xocolata Negra 80% De Cacau






                                   
About: Chok is a Spanish chocolate made in Barcelona. That's about as much as I could figure out about them. They have pictures of croissants on their web page, not to mention fish on a grill. Oops, mentioned it. I don't know if they are a restaurant or small manufacturer. The bar itself tastes fresh, so I think they may have made this from beans themselves. But they list no sources for the beans, and so I don't know. Shrug.

Flavor:  Really it's on the sweet side, but fresh with bright notes and a long follow-through. Very nice!

Texture: Very nice and smooth.

My rating: Good flavor. Good texture. Solid 7, even if it's on the sweet side. 


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.
