Lake Champlain Chocolates all natural African Blend


Evaluation Date: October 2012
Cocoa Content: 80%
Purchased @: Portland Maine

Theo Rating: 6 - "I found this dark chocolate taste a tad bitter and the sweetness was not where I like it to be."

MONGGO Extra Fine Chocolate


Evaluation Date: January 2014
Cocoa Content: 58%
Purchased @: Bali Indonesia

Theo Rating: 6 - "I liked this chocolate, although not as dark as I prefer. I’ll give it a 6."


Broma Rating: 5 - "It really is a treat to sample a chocolate from indonesia! However the cocoa level of this sample (58%) is far too low to be considered a 'dark' chocolate. It is otherwise smooth & sweet and a very nice treat, I can't give it more than a 5."
