François Pralus Fortissima 80% cacao

Exciting taste, lots of great flavors.  Cherry and honey, maybe even some citrus. Rich in chocolate, very low bitterness for an 80% cocoa bar.  Aftertaste stays with you in a very nice way.  8.8

Olivier Ghana Pure Origin 70% cacao

This chocolate has a subtle bitterness, and a flavor with an earthy aspect.  Nice finish and aftertaste.  7.5

Ha, I just visited their website and saw an funny goof.  The french site is fine, but click the British flag at the top to see the English version, and you see:

This is nonsense text that is often used to mock up a site before it is published with real text.  I'm not sure whether to feel good that they at least have an English option,or bad that they have one that it totally useless.
