Family tasting

Hello everyone,

Over the holidays I decided to do a tasting with my family. I decided to switch it up a little bit though and instead of focusing on flavors, I wanted to see if the could recognize their favorite chocolates by taste alone. I decided to use Lindor's milk chocolate (my moms favorite), Dove dark chocolate (my dads favorite) and then a cheap palmer Santa I bought as well.

Chocolate #1 (Palmer)

My mother thought this chocolate was very cheap and waxy. She did not like the taste at all and he ended up asking me of this was dollar store chocolate.

My father thought it tasted very sweet and didn't taste like true chocolate. 

Chocolate #2 (Dove)

My mom thought it was very silky and smooth but had a very bitter taste. 

My dad loved this chocolate. He immediately noted that it was dark chocolate and loved the smooth texture and mouthfeel. 

Chocolate #3 (Lindor)

My mom instantly loved this chocolate. To her this was a perfect milk chocolate and she said it reminded her of Lindor chocolate.

My dad thought it was very silky as well but not as much as chocolate #2. He also thought it had a milky flavor.

Overall it seems that in order to truly recognize your favorite chocolate you need to see it in its trademark packaging. Even though my mother was close to notice her favorite chocolate, she could say for certain that it was Lindor and my father also didn't know that he tasted he favorite dark chocolate. It’s interesting to see that there is a correlation between the recognition and the packaging of the chocolate. I hope to look into this more as a taste more chocolate.
