Michel Cluizel Noir Infini 99% Cocoa

Biting, bitter, very strong flavors. Not a hint of sweetness, nor of "chocolate." For medicinal use only. 4

In a prior post I stated that this blog would not survey extremely high cocoa content chocolate, however this bar provides a bookend to the set of plantation bars we reviewed last week.

This is a very small bar only 30 grams, so it would be surprising if this were meant to be used for cooking. I usually put the bar's packaging notes in a comment to the main post, but here's the note for this bar:

From the Package:

"This chocolate, with its long kneading process and extremely high content of cocoas, reveals the deep and dense strains of a unique blend, formed for a connoisseur's palate."

So the intended audience for this bar is the "connoisseur." While I did find the flavor complex and challenging, I appear to not be enough of a chocolate tasting connoisseur to fully appreciate this bar.
