This chocolate was very bitter and tasted like it had a high cocoa content. It was also nice and silky but  the at seer seemed split on who liked it and who didn't.

This chocolate is Patricia's Chocolate Fortunato No.4 Dark Chocolate.

Overall thoughts:

This chocolate also came from rare cocoa bean as did chocolate #4. The cocnching technique is also the same which allows it to retain as much flavor as possible and get its silky and smooth flavor. It contained 68% Grand Cru chocolate. It is noted to have layered flavors, with citrus and coffee. It is also known for its lingering aftertaste which is considered longer than most chocolates. Overall this is a very high quality chocolate and is recommended for anyone who enjoys rich dark chocolate.

This chocolate is sold for around $3.80 for a 0.56 oz bar so about  $6.79/ oz.
