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

The best chocolate. Who needs sugar when you have quality chocolate. Nice flavor and love the stone ground texture

The product is as advertised. It is a coarse-ground cacao with a very small amount of sugar which balances the bitterness without adding too much sweetness. It's not smooth milk chocolate. It's alkali-free high concentration cacao that has texture. I buy it because I enjoy this type of chocolate and I'm looking for the healthy benefits of concentrated cacao. This isn't a Hershey bar or Nestle Krunch. The product was shipped with a cold pack and arrived perfectly.

Overall tastes better than I expected after reading some of the top reviews claiming it tasted like dirt or soil. There is some truth to their claims but I think it’s exaggerated. When I first bit into the Wicked Dark, it reminded me of a Kit Kat bar in that It had a slightly crispy texture, as if there is some rice or something crunchy in it. The taste is dark, strong and bold. I can imagine some people not liking the strong, distinctive taste. The smell is strong with a slightly sweet smell, almost like wine. Compared with the Lindt Excellence 95%, the Taza has a coarse, muddy texture and a bolder taste. The Lindt is much smoother and has a more neutral taste. Both are good in their unique ways. I bought this mainly as a healthy snack to eat that’s high in fat and fiber to keep me feeling full in between meals. The Taza had a decent unit price so I chose it over other very dark chocolates with good reviews. Overall I’m content with the pick but would probably choose a different brand next time just because there is so much variety on Amazon and I’d like to experiment more.

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.

I really like Taza 95% chocolate bars but these come melted and re-solidified. Therefore, they do not look or taste like they normally would. Roasted cacao beans taste better than these bars in this condition. I don't recommend spending the money and having poor quality items arrive.

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.

I was a real fan of the old Wicked Dark, which was 100% chocolate with nubs. It had a wonderful mouth feel and a little crunch, super dark. This new product is just not wicked at all. The mouth feel is too smooth, it has a cooling sensation like it contains xylitol, though the label says just sugar. The portion sizes are bigger, and the bar is difficult to crack alone the lines. I will have to look for my dark chocolate fix somewhere else.

Shipped in secure container with no melting. Excellent quality chocolate. Will buy again!!

Absolutely the best dark chocolate I have ever tried 😍😋

Very good . My favorite dark chocolate

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

A tad bitter. But great substitute for dark chocolate
