This bar is both a little unique and a little bit odd. The oddness is in the description of this chocolate bar, it’s said to be “50% dark milk chocolate”. There are lots of definitions about what makes up dark chocolate, I believe the EU regulation involves at least 35% cocoa solids to be called dark chocolate. This might fit into that category, however they included the word “milk” in the description as well. Are they saying that this bar only contains 50% milk chocolate, or is it 50% dark chocolate but there’s also milk in it as well. It’s very confusing, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I bit into it.

The first bite offered a nice chocolate snap. I actually find the snap of chocolate to be a little over rated, but I do understand that high end chocolatiers and chocolate fans really love it. I often find bars with a great snap don’t have that nice smooth texture right off the bat. It feels like it takes a little while longer for a fine snappy to chocolate to melt in my mouth. This bar had that exact situation, you can call it a problem if you like. The unique thing about this bar however is the flavour.

I would describe the flavour as a dark chocolate, but with a really light flavour. Normally a light flavour in chocolate refers to the amount of milk added into the bar, but that’s not the case with this bar. It’s almost as if they took a slightly bitter bar, then somehow made it less bitter with far less richness. Many bars have this almost heavy, creamy flavour even if they’re dark. This bar really didn’t have that heavy deep flavour, instead it was a light cocoa flavour. I wouldn’t say that I didn’t like it, it’s just not the same as many dark or milk chocolate bars I’ve had in the past.

I enjoyed eating this bar, and the unique cocoa flavour really was something worth trying out. I wouldn’t necessarily seek this bar out again, but I’m kind of glad I got to try it.
