We taste-tested 3 fancy chocolate bars—here's what you need to know
Do your research before you buy.
COMMERCIAL
Lindt 70% Cocoa Excellence Bar:"It's creamy and sweet and has vanilla notes, qualities often found in mass bars."
PREMIUM
Valrhona 71% Cacao Le Noir Amer Bar: "The most bitter of these, with tobacco notes. It's not overly smooth but not grainy."
ARTISANAL
Amano Macoris 70% Dark Chocolate Bar: "This was the fruitiest, with notes of cooked cherries. It's grittier with a waxy feel."
BOTTOM LINE
For a truer chocolate with a complex cacao, the more bitter, the better. Mass bars typically are diluted with sugar —but as Canora points out, most people don't love chocolate, they love sugar.
