In the Currently Viewing thread, a post of mine about chocolate bars got me in the mood to order a few. Thanks to a web site mentioned in that post (chocosphere.com to be exact) I bought a few of the best bars available.


(Just...don't look up the prices. I may have went overboard here.)

The first one up to bat is front and center in the photo - the Amedei Cru 70% Venezuelan Single Origin, produced in Italy. What an excellent chocolate bar! Smooth, pleasant flavor, none of the bitter chalkiness that is common with many dark chocolates I've had. The aftertaste was a simple cocoa flavor. Honestly, even if you're a milk chocolate-only type of person, you'd probably like this. My language for describing chocolate is a bit rudimentary, but the takeaway is all positive. Thumbs up!

Stay tuned for further coverage.
