From the label:

"Le Noir Amer by Valrhona: reveals the refined character of our unique selection of Trinitario and Criollo cocoa beans, with the rich flavors and redwood colors. It has a fruity and floral taste and an exceptional, long-lasting finish."

This is my favorite eating chocolate. It has the perfect balance of sweetness to bitterness. It also has a very fruity quality that I really like.
