Brand: Trader Joe's
Flavor: Chocolate Palette: Ecuador
Cocoa content: 68%
Review: "Deep chocolate aroma with floral and fruit notes." I generally prefer dark, robust, spicy chocolates (especially in this palette), but Ecuador has flavorful lightness which is surprisingly pleasant: it's airy, deceptively light, palatable, and gently unusual. Unfortunately, the high sugar content gives it a sharp mouthfeel and strong, sweet aftertaste; you wouldn't think that just a few percentage points would make such a difference in the sugar to cocoa ratio, but apparently they do—and Ecuador suffers for it, because it would be better as a bitter chocolate. Fortunately, the chocolate's light flavor is well complimented by plenty of water to wash all the sugar down. I like this bar mode than I'd expect, but the sugar content is just too high to make it truly enjoyable to eat.
