Dandelion Togo Kpalime 70% cacao

The predominant experience of this bar is a smooth, buttery texture and flavor. A subtle hint of orange blossom emerges, followed by mild spiciness with closer attention.  The aftertaste remains smooth and buttery, persisting for a moderate duration. 7.9

Dandelion Indonesia Ransiki 70% cacao

I would not describe this bar as gentle and sweet. It has a spice edge, somewhat peppery with a touch of nutmeg. The aftertaste is lengthy, ringing with the spice.  Well made, but not a profile I like. 6.5

Stonegrindz Peru Ucayali River 70% cacao

I have come to know that cacao from Peru is delicious and flavorful, and this bar supports that impression. The flavors are more buttery than fruity, with a light caramel taste. On the fruit side a touch of fig can be noticed. The aftertaste is clean and brief. 9.5
