Brand: Trader Joe's
Flavor: Chocolate Palette: Venezuela
Cocoa content: 70%
Review: Described as, "Unique, mild taste with hints of floral and dried grasses"; these lighter, drier cocoas tend to be my least favorite. Insofar as unique and mild go together, this is it: an almost thin, dry, almost cool cocoa with a non-sweet flavor (although, as with the rest of the palette, there's actually quite a bit of sugar and a distinct sugary aftertaste), this is different from the robust chocolate I usually favor—but its strangeness is subdued, and I sometimes overlook it. The bar is perfectly palatable—smooth, moderately dark, easy to eat, but the sugar leaves a gritty feel in the mouth. The change of pace of Venezuela's dry flavor can be interesting, but this isn't a remarkable chocolate or particularily to my liking. I eat this one first to get it out of the way.
