Blind tasting #2

Hello everyone,

Following is information gathered about another chocolate that was blind tasted.

Chocolate #2

Appearance:

This chocolate's appearance was consistently described as slightly shiny and waxy looking. It also was lighter in color than most of the other chocolates.

Touch:

 The chocolate was very smooth and silky between your fingers and melted very quickly. 

Sound:

All of the tasters thought that this chocolate created a soft breaking noise and it did not "break" as much as it "bended" and then softly broke into pieces. 

Aroma:

The smell was described as a very faint sweet smell. Some said it smelled similar to a Kit-Kat bar.

Mouthfeel:

This chocolate was noted to be extremely smooth and easily melted in your mouth. Some thought it seemed slightly waxy as well.

Flavor:

The flavor was described as very sweet.

Aftertaste:

Very brief but it was sweet.

Overall comments: 

This chocolate was a favorite among the taster but it could be due to the fact that we recognized the flavor.

This chocolate is Dove's Milk Chocolate bar. 

Overall thoughts:

Dove is an extremely sweet and silky chocolate bar. Dove is noted for its silky texture and after some research I found out it could be due to the process called conching. This is a procedure where the cocoa and liquid chocolate is worked on by rollers to create a very fine mixture. The longer it is processed the finer the chocolate and thus the silkier. This can be expensive, so maybe that is why Dove adds so much sugar so it can use less of the liquid chocolate. Also, Dove is able to buy ingredients for their chocolate in bulk, which also allows them cut back on the cost. This shows that not all cheap chocolates have a waxy taste. This chocolate overall though has a wonderful taste, but is considerably sweet compared to other chocolates. I would give it a 7 out of 10.

This chocolate is sold for $0.89 for 1.44 ounces, which is $0.61 / oz
