  I don't trust chocolates that don't specify the variety of cacao they come from as any good.

    This chocolate is terrible.
    It tastes like a cheap Easter egg.
    Bought at SupaBarn Canberra Centre last Friday for the same price and was very disappointed.

      As a reference point, have you tried the offerings from Green and Black? Thoughts?

      which flavour did you have?

      what chocolates do you prefer?

    tonester on 16/09/2015 - 12:54

    how don't you trust them as being any good?

    most don't, with one exception being green+black's

    which cocoa beans and chocolate brands do you like?

      I mostly go with dark chocolates (min 70%) as I find anything below much too sweet.

      I like a bit of the Varlhona Guanaja 70%, which is quite readily available from David Jones. A Trinitario Criollo blend.

      The other one I just notices being stocked and tried and liked I found, of all places, in Woolworths is some sort of a vegan and all organic chocolate bar where they used evaporated coconut nectar instead of sugar. Criollo variety from Venezuela it says on the box. A bit grainy though.
      The bar's in some if I remember right brown cardboard box packaging going for $6 a 100g bar.

      Amedei Chuao is a good one you can buy from Lario online.

      Also Pralus 100% is fantastic, but that brand can only be bought at Monty's in Brisbane.

        nice expensive taste :)

        i also prefer dark for the same reason

        note that whilst specifying bean variety can indicate quality, some good ones don't - and like robusta and pinot meunier, forastero isn't necessarily bad :)

        what do you think of australian chocolate?

        @tonester:

        I do enjoy Haighs from time to time as a guilty pleasure fix of their Dark Chocolate Rocky Roads.

        Oh the Woolworths chocolate I got is branded Loving Earth.

        Haven't tried Daintree but will give that a go.

        For my really sweet tooth days I like to hunt for the really thick Italian style of drinking chocolates from the chocolate cafes.
