Blind tasting #3

Hello,

Here is info on a third chocolate

Chocolate #3

Appearance:

This chocolate's appearance was described as slightly shiny and waxy. Also the chocolate appeared to contain small chances in it.

Touch:

 The chocolate was very smooth and silky but also was gritty due to the small pieces in it.

Sound:

All of the tasters thought that this chocolate created a crisp snap when the chocolate was broken in to pieces.

Aroma:

The smell was described as having a rich and intense cocoa smell. It instantly made you think of good dark chocolate.

Mouthfeel:

This chocolate was noted to be smooth and gritty at the same time. In your mouth the pieces seem to pop and fizz. Also the chocolate did not melt as easy as the other chocolates did.

Flavor:

The flavor was described as a good mix between sweet and bitter notes.

Aftertaste:

The aftertaste was brief and dry.

Overall comments: 

This chocolate was a favorite among the tasters due to its tasting experience. When eating this chocolate it was smooth but also fizzled and made noise in your mouth. Later we found out that this was due to the pop rocks in the chocolate.

This chocolate is Christopher Elbow Artisanal No. 6 Dark Rocks Chocolate.

Overall thoughts:

This candy bar allows for a new tasting experience. The chocolate is a perfect blend of bitter and sweet which can appease many chocolate lovers pallets. The pop rocks slightly enhance the sweetness and allow for a multi-sense experience. The pop rocks add and interesting texture and you can hear them as they explode as well. Overall I loved this chocolate and would recommend it to others to give it a try. It may take a little getting used to your chocolate fizzing in your mouth but overall it is an amazing product. 

This chocolate is sold for around $3.50 / oz
