Manufacturer

Packaging
The 70g chocolate bar is wrapped in quite strong parchment paper and a card board box.
Look
The chocolate is very dark brown with red hue. Smaller bits appear red-brown.
Sound
The chocolate breaks with a very clear and abrupt snap sound.
Smell
Opening the parchment paper releases aromas of cocoa, cane sugar and fruity notes of muskmelon.
Mouthfeel
The chocolate initially feels hard and almost sharp edged. It starts melting quickly and after a short-lived sticky stage, it melts into a very fine and creamy liquid.
Taste
The initial contact has a fruity melon like flavour. As the chocolate starts melting, intense and rich but light cocoa flavours develop. The cocoa has a very mild bitterness that slowly turns into flavours of roasted nuts and caramelised, ripe fruit on top of the rich cocoa flavours.
Aftertaste
The aftertaste is a fruity cocoa flavour with tiny hints of a fruity sourness.
Summary
This chocolate is dark and it has very a rich, fruit and cocoa feel. Its flavours are more fruity and light and emphasising the cocoa in the product.
Verdict
The whole ground chocolate provides a fine, rich almost creamy melt. The cocoa flavours have a distinct tropical, melon edge with notes of caramel. The chocolate emphasises a full, rich cocoa body. 5 Stars.
