Taza Chocolate Mexicano 70% cacao

Not a chocolate bar, but rather a disc. The label says it is made in a traditional Mexican style using Oaxacan stone mills. The disc is rich dark chocolate, but it has a rough texture that I assume is a result of the added cane sugar. This makes the chocolate better to chew than let melt in the mouth.  As it is chewed, the chocolate flavor burst out, possibly as a result of the sugar crystals that contribute to the rough texture. There's a fairly bitter aftertaste that develops as you chew.  No noticeable side-flavors.

The label also suggests that this disc could be "whisked into hot liquid" to make a chocolate drink. Perhaps this is the better way to consume this chocolate. 5.5
