Chocolate Review: S�o Thom�

2008-01-30

According to Trader Joe's: Intense cocoa flavor with an exciting bitterness.

My take: 70% Cacao. Smooth cocoa flavor with a different kind of bitterness. It's hard to explain what's different about it. It's almost like the bitterness is disconnected from the taste. It's almost a bitter aftertaste rather than a bitter flavor.

It also has hints of other flavors. Faintly fruity. Faintly...earthy? Not strong enough to really be noticeable.

Overall it's a pretty good chocolate, but it wouldn't be my first choice.
