About: El Buen is a bean-to-bar manufacturer based in Idyllwild, CA. Idyllwild! how can you go wrong. They eat tree bark there and live on sunshine. Their bars have beans and sugar. They make a handful of bars and some truffles.
Flavor: I had this bar around a while, and so perhaps that's why I found it lacking in flavor. I really think that must be it, because there's nothing good I can say about the chocolate I ate. But I do think it's probably the age.
Texture: Same as for the flavor.
My rating: Kind-of 4, but a 5 because maybe it's my fault. I'll have to revisit.
| 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. |
