Venchi Biologico 70% cacao dark chocolate












About: Venchi is an Italian chocolate that didn't impress me particularly before. This bar was better. How can you resist the lightly lettered "good, fair, ethical..." marketing?

Flavor:  The flavor is .. okay... A slow start with a somewhat bitter finish. Nothing too fruity, but earthy and a full flavored finith.

Texture: Relatively smooth, if a bit brittle at the start. The finish is smooth and silky (or do I mean velvety).

My rating: 5 . It's fine.


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.
