Poco Dolce Hazelnet 68% Cacao

 























About: Poco Dolce is (yet another) San Francisco chocolatier. They started in 2003 as a baking company, and now they make confections. They use chocolate made by Guittard, a San Francisco chocolate maker.

Flavor: The hazelnut is pleasant, though my bar had a slight bitter after-taste. The chocolate is full flavored and, to be honest, better than I remembered Guittard chocolate being.

Texture: Silky smooth.

My rating:  Pretty much 7, for flavor and texture bordering on better than average.

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.
