Green & Black’s Dark 70% Bar

An extremely plain bar here both in terms of taste and presentation, which isn’t perhaps the most fitting way to end my Green & Black’s mini-series.

This is a 70% cocoa solids dark chocolate bar, with nothing more or less. It’s “made with the finest Trinitario cocoa beans”, I’m not sure what kind of selling point that is but…good for them, I suppose.

Something went oh-so-wrong with this though. I’ve become accustomed to dark chocolate in the time since I started this, and yet this bar was still…far, far too bitter. I took it slowly, letting pieces melt, not rushing it…and still it was bitter to the point where it became almost sour in my mouth.

I know Green & Black’s sell cooking chocolate (90%?), and I did have to do a double take to make sure I wasn’t eating that. Alas, I wasn’t, but this bar was just far too intense for my taste buds. Milk chocolate fans, steer clear, this one is aimed at the hardcore dark chocolate audience.

The 100g bar has 551 calories, 9.3g Protein, 36g Carbohydrates and 41.1g Fat.

    this bar is not for the faint of heart as Terry has explained. I’m a dark chocolate fan and I love a rich and slightly bitter bar, but this brand makes very potent chocolate.
    I usually go for at least 85% cocoa solids in chocolate but in this case 70% is my limit. I get rush every time I eat it.

    Chocolate to make your heart race- the caffeine kick blows your head off. Not very pleasant at all, and has a tart aftertaste like macchiato laced with acerola!
