Posts about chocolate

I have been meaning to post about the different chocolate I tried. Finally got around to it. Then of course I didn't get to post a lot of the other ones I tried.

I am no expert, so I just gave a brief review so I can keep a record of what I have tried, and whether I'd buy them again or not for my own reference!

I like milk chocolate. I don't really have a favorite but generally prefer Belgium chocolate.

Chocolate - Bovetti Milk Chocolate with Caramel & Fleur de Sel

Bovetti Milk Chocolate with Caramel & Fleur de Sel
$4.95
50g / 1.75 oz
France

Couldn't find a picture of the exact bar from their website, but it looks pretty (forgot to take a picture) - I like the see-through window in the packaging (you can see some pictures of this particular bar on google here). It tasted fine, but didn't really taste the caramel so it wasn't gooeyly sweet.

Buy again? Maybe.

Chocolate - Askinoise 62% Dark Milk Chocolate + Fleur de Sel

Askinoise 62% Dark Milk Chocolate + Fleur de Sel
$9.95
85g / 3oz

Springfield, MO
Bought from local gourmet store

I like the brown paper bag packaging. While it said it is dark milk since it's just 62%, it tastes more dark than milk. It was okay, I don't remember much about it...

Buy again? I saw on their website that they have a 55% Malted Moo Moo™ Milk Chocolate (a limited edition). So I'd probably try that but not buy this one again.

Chocolate - Poco Dolce: Bittersweet Olive Oil Sea Salt Bar

Poco Dolce: Bittersweet Olive Oil Sea Salt Bar

$6.5 

50g/1.763 lz

San Francisco

Bought from local gourmet store.

I prefer milk chocolate to dark or white chocolate. This was "bittersweet" but I was intrigued by having olive oil as an ingredient

I am not a chocolate expert at all but I really like the texture of this chocolate, unlike other texture I'd had. Some described it as velvety and I guess that's a good way to describe it. Maybe it's because of the olive oil? I can't really taste the olive oil though. And don't really taste the saltiness from the sea salt. It's not bitter which is good for me. The foil it was wrapped in almost feels like fabric (not quite, but not as brittle as other foil paper...) 

Buy again? Will bring this brand again, but not sure if I'll buy this flavor again yet... I like trying new ones. But at least I know it's a good one to go back to.
