PRESTAT Intensely Dark Chocolate

Evaluation Date: March 2014

Cocoa Content: 80%

Purchased @: Heathrow Airport

Theo Rating: 9 - "I too rated it a 9. It was a tad too bitter for me. I would have liked a little more sweetness too."

Broma Rating: 9 - "A wonderful dark chocolate with a powerful "kick"!   But, if I were to compare it with others (and this is what this is all about) I have to say that I really would prefer one of the "10's" above to this one, as the cocoa content is just a bit too high."

Evaluation Date: January 2016

Cocoa Content: 77%

Purchased @: France

Theo Rating: 5 - "I too found the texture of this sample not pleasant. There was also a residual taste from the chocolate I did not like. Not a good sample."

Broma Rating: 6 - "I'm not happy with this sample. The 'grainy' texture of the chocolate doesn't leave with a good feeling. The cocoa content is high enough to provide a 'kick', however."

Evaluation Date: April 2012

Cocoa Content: 85%

Purchased @: PCC

Theo Rating: 8 - "This chocolate was very smooth, had a good aroma but was not quite as sweet as I prefer. All in all, an excellent chocolate."

Broma Rating: 9 - "This dark Chocolate's cocoa content is one of the higher samples that we have evaluated. It therefore approaches an uncomfortable bitterness level. That stated, I like it very, very much and rate it as a "9"."
