Cuna De Piedra Mexico Chiapas 85% cacao

As would be expected for an 85% cacao bar, this bar is quite bitter. The flavor that initially presents is a roasted charcoal taste. There is also an earthy element. The aftertaste is long and bitter. 6.5

Ingredients: Cacao beans, Cane sugar

My ratings are focused not on the objective quality of the bar, but rather on my preference for the bar. High cacao percentage bars are at a disadvantage, as my taste preference is for bars below 80% cacao. This bar is well made and those who enjoy high cacao content bars will enjoy it.
