The darker, the better. I’m not picky though.
Are you a 100% chocolate fan?
Yes! I don’t really care about the alleged health benefits, mind you - I love the taste, you put a tiny bit of chocolate in your mouth and it’s more than enough to fill it with flavour.
I’m used to bitter things, though. Yerba, sugar-less coffee, this kind of stuff.
100% cacao chocolate bars. They are a hugely acquired taste, but now they taste sweet to me and I can sense a rich backdrop of flavors. Initially they were super bitter. It’s super hard, if not impossible, to binge on 100% chocolate.
100% is a bit much for me, but I do like it best hovering around at about 80%.
100%? I’m imagining cocoa powder that you press into a brick.
Not Cadbury
Neither Nestlé
Especially avoid nestle
I spent some time in Switzerland, and there was a chocolate chateau in Interlaken which sold these individually wrapped chocolate cubes which broke up and melted in your mouth.
It’s very good I live very far away from that place now.
Definatelly the ones over 90%. 80% is already too sweet. Sadly most of the ones I can find here are the Lindt ones which are not good. I’m not sure what the names are but most were some speciality chocklades which are very expensive so I only buy them once in a while.
Types of chocolate, or chocolate foods?
If the former, dark chocolate. 72% is the sweet spot for me.
If the latter, chocolate cake. The rich dense fudgey kind with ganache frosting. A close second is hot chocolate. I’m a big fan of champurrado in particular.
White chocolate!
Dark and white! White chocolate biscuits are my weakness
In a product like thing? I really like chocolate peppermint crinkle cookies.
I have a local shop who makes their own. I like the 85% dark from Peru. Its so good.
I really like Tony’s dark almond sea salt right now. It’s only 51% but the salt really draws out the bitter flavors you would normally only get out of darker chocolates.
Any well tempered chocolate will do. Barring that, most other chocolate will do too
Felchlin Maracaibo 65%
Just needs to be experienced.
