Meybona Organic Milk Chocolate

Nice, ordinary milk chocolate. It’s been awhile since I’ve reviewed a normal chocolate bar, but here we are. This is in fact a bar produced and sold in Germany, that was imported here. There’s also a certain Oliver Kuhl’s name listed on the back, a chocolatier maybe? I have no idea.

Anyway, organic chocolate, not something that will change my perspective of the bar. I appreciate the fact that all their ingredients are organic (and there aren’t many ingredients here too, which is nice), but it’s not a big deal in my opinion, and something I see as more of a bonus when the chocolate itself is good. Anyway, it’s a moot point and I’ll move on.

The wrapper looks very, very plain. Doesn’t stand out at all really, same goes for the bar, which is an ordinary milk chocolate tablet.

The first thing I noticed when I went to break off a piece, was how greasy the chocolate felt. I was leaving fingerprints all over it and had a…residue, of sorts, left on my fingers, not because of heat or anything, but definitely because of some sort of grease or fault with the chocolate.

The chocolate itself is disturbingly tasteless, I can hardly taste chocolate there at all, it’s like I’m biting down on soft, melting…nothing. There is just no flavour to this bar at all. I left it for a few hours, cleansed my palette, made sure my sinuses were clear and suchforth, tried again…still nothing.

Very odd indeed, there is just nothing to this bar at all. It reminded me of that Simpsons episode where Homer takes a bite out of a rice cake, looks at it and says “Hello? Taste?”, that was pretty much my reaction.

Suffice it to say, I recommend you avoid this bar. Ok it’s organic, but who cares if it doesn’t even taste good? Go for Green & Black’s instead if you’re looking for organic chocolate. If you are interested though, I bought this from the boys at A Lot of Chocolate for £1.40 in their special offers section. Yeah, it’s on a special offer, who’d have guessed!?
