Taza Chocolate, 95% Wicked Dark Amaze Bar, 2.5 oz bars, case of 10

I’ve been ordering this chocolate for months and it’s amazing and such a unique flavor. It is always packed with some sort of dry ice . It has always been perfect. Well I like it Florida and right now the weather is brutal. I’ve been wondering if it would eventually arrive melted and it did this time. So I put it in the fridge and it got hard again but its color, texture and taste were altered slightly. My daughter is a chocolatier and I know from her experience that the coca butter was melted and then it returns to a less stable state. It’s not spoiled or moldy or bad . In fact it’s a totally unique flavor. So if this happens to you, I would recommend keeping it and breaking it into chunks and enjoy it. It was a little tricky with the packaging but it’s still worth keeping. The company does a great job of protecting it as best as possible.

Good chocolate. Melts in your mouth. Has kind of a German Chocolate taste. Maybe a bit sweeter than I expected. I got the 87%. Maybe next time I'll try the 95%.

These are brutal. You have to really love dark chocolate to enjoy them. I guess > am more of a 70% girl myself. To me, this is the same as sucking on a tire. The texture will also throw you

I bought this chocolate because it was listed by Consumer Reports (and others) as having a relatively low amount of heavy metals (specifically lead and cadmium). So if you buy for this reason, it may be a good product. There's no way for me to test heavy metal levels so I am assuming 3rd party testing is accurate. However, if you are buying for taste, well it may take some getting used to. It has a gritty, sandy texture. It is a different experience than your usual smooth chocolate and it is a little bitter - but that goes with the 70%. The one star deduction is for the taste.

This is some of the best chocolate I've ever eaten like a vegan organic toblerone.

Taza offers a unique chocolate experience that I highly recommend. The texture is an enjoyable gritty one that needs to be tried to be properly understood. I've never had a Taza product I didn't enjoy. As I tend to eat a low sugar diet in general, the 95% dark is perfect. The bitter is perfectly balanced by a light sweetness. I have had more complex chocolates, but it isn't bland. The texture, in my opinion, really makes this chocolate bar. My experience with the shipping was good. It looks as though Taza had a local chocolate/cheese company ship the chocolate to me, so it had a short journey to me. The local shop (shout out Caputo's) did a good job insulating the chocolate. I 100% appreciate that Taza did not have the chocolate shipped through an Amazon facility because so little care is put into shipping products from Amazon warehouses. It seems that some people have had issues with their orders being shipped properly, so I hope that this is a practice that Taza is implementing on a broad scale. For anyone concerned about this, I would recommend reaching out to Taza before ordering and seeing how your order would be handled.

Taza 80% is too bitter (barely any sweetness) for my taste. Of course I ate them all, they were still OK maybe a 7. Going to try Swiss Milkboy's 70% bar. Reviews said they had perfect amount of sweetness while still healthy.

The texture of the chocolate was a bit unexpected. It is a little gritty, but it reminds me of chocolate with cacao nibs ground up in it. The texture does not bother me. The chocolate flavor is very intense. It is only slightly sweet--it is not sweet like a candy bar. I don't like a lot of sugar so this is perfect for me. I like that I can eat a chunk of it and not want to eat the rest of the bar. I used it to make some chocolate coconut almond butter, and it melted well and works very well as an ingredient. The chocolate flavor is very evident. Anyone looking for a Hershey bar is going to be disappointed. If you like natural dark (very dark!) and not very sweet chocolate, then this product is for you.

They almost taste like milk chocolate,I like the texture and craftsmanship that go into making them .

People are complaining about the texture but I don’t mind it. If anything it’s something different than the usual.

This was excellent chocolate. Loved the texture, choc was properly 80% dark, not too sweet. 9/10, will buy again.

I am chocolate liver, and I wanted to try this brand, but I am disappointed. The one bar is too small, I did not taste any different from any other 95% of cocoa. This one costs 10$ for one bar, others will not exceed 4$. No thank you, will not buy it again.

Tastes butterfly smoothes and rich yet nice bitterness which I like. As 95% cacao, it is well balanced chocolate! Great taste with coffee and red wine
