Taza Chocolate Organic Amaze Bar 95% Stone Ground, Wicked Dark with Ginger, 2.5 Ounce (10 count), Vegan

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.

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.

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

A tad bitter. But great substitute for dark chocolate

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%.
