Francois Pralus Fortissima 80%

 
























About: Francois Pralus is the son of Auguste Pralus, who invented the Praline in the mid 20th century. He was born in Mars, France, if we're dropping names. Francois carries on in the same boutique, where he produces 15 pure varieties and 4 blended bars.  


Flavor: This bar has a 'warm' round flavor, with strong smokey notes. It's not that fruity, and the flavor is overall subdued.

Texture:Nicely creamy, though not as much as some of the large brands, like Lindt.

My rating:  A solid 7 or 8. I'm waffling here on 7 or 8. But I just can't decide.

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.
