Confiserie Obermeier - Zartbitterschokolade (Dark chocolate)

The tasting notes reflect my personal opinion.

Name

Zartbitterschokolade (Dark chocolate)
Main ingredients are sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, soya lecithin, natural vanilla.
Cocoa content: minimum 60% cocoa

Manufacturer

Confiserie Josef Obermeier, Lengmoos 5, 83536 Gars am Inn, Germany
Münchner SchokoLaden, Viktualienmarkt 3, Abteilung III, Stand 18/19, 80331 München, Germany

Packaging

The 100g chocolate bar is wrapped in a transparent plastic sleeve.

Look

The chocolate is very dark brown with a noticeable red hue that is particularly noticeable at the edges.

Sound

The chocolate breaks with a clear 'snap' sound.

Smell

The smells of sugar, vanilla, cocoa and roasted nuts.

Mouthfeel

The chocolate melts quickly and smoothly into a very fine liquid.

Taste

The chocolate flavour is initially dominated by sweetness. The chocolate quickly releases cocoa flavours with notes of coffee and roasted nuts. The sweetness is balanced but it tends to overwhelm the more exciting cocoa flavours after a while.

Aftertaste

The aftertastes are cocoa with a mild bitterness and sweetness.

Summary

This chocolate has an intense cocoa flavour with roasted nuts and coffee flavours. It is also sweetened and melts smoothly.

Verdict

The chocolate melts very evenly into a very fine chocolate while maintaining an even surface. However, its sweetness tends to overwhelm the nicely warming coffee and roasted nuts flavours of the cocoa. 4 Stars.
