Taza Chocolate Organic Mexicano Disc Stone Ground, Oaxacan Variety Pack, 1.35 Ounce (4 Count), Vegan

Delicious! Great in coffee hot or cold.We use half or a quarter of a disc.Perfect compliment.I haven't tried them as intended yet. the Chilli in particular packs a nice punch.

"Chocolate With True Grit. We use traditional Mexican stone mills, called molinos, to grind our cacao. The hand-carved stones that turn inside these mills preserve the bright, fruity flavors of the beans, and create a chocolate that's bold, rustic, and satisfyingly gritty -- unlike any other chocolate you've tasted"I flipping LOVE this "Super Dark" chocolate (85%). I adore the slight grit. It adds to the sensory experience. It IS satisfying. It isn't jarring to me at all. I'm in love. Think this is my new favorite for 85% cocoa because of the texture. It is just awesome (to me).This is my first time trying Taza chocolate. I am new to purposely eating dark chocolate. I dont know if my tastebuds have changed or if I was just trying the wrong stuff, but recently I have tried some very good dark chocolate, and I am preferring it over milk chocolate. It isnt as cloying. I find I can eat a little and be happy. I know it is healthier, which is a huge bonus. Pretty sure prior experience with dark chocolate was just HersheysSpecialDark, and so yeh.. when I decided to try dark chocolate again, I went for more premium brands (at premium prices).This is very good tasting to me. Has a bite, but not bitter. Just enough creaminess to lend a good mouth feel. The grit factor really adds a lot to the experience for me.Each packed round has 2 disks inside. Pack of 12 equates to 24 discs. Score marks allow for easy breaking off of pieces. I like that I can savor a slice at a time. I have not done anything else with it other than to eat it directly.

Delicious and on the consumers reports list for low cadmium and lead.

This chocolate tastes really good. I love the stone ground texture. It definitely has a quality taste to it, but the flavors are all pretty faint and don't come through as strong as I would have liked. The biggest complaint I have with this chocolate is the price. I paid $23 for this 8 pack sampler as a gift for my wife. After trying the chocolate and seeing the size of each disc, I would never pay this price again. As I write this review I see the chocolate is on a sale for $16.10 now. $2 a disc might be a more reasonable price if you want to try something special and unique.That being said, the chocolate is organic, doesn't contain toxic ingredients like dyes or artificial flavoring, etc. Quality chocolate can be hard to find, and I appreciate that Taza isn't using harmful ingredients.

Delicious chocolate.

Bought this as a gift. They really loved it and ordered their own later.

I’m a lover of chocolate: this cannot be understated. From Lindt to Hershey to Lacta to brands popular in Belgium, Germany, and South America, I’ve devoted time to this passion and I assure you, I have NEVER had a more disgusting chocolate in my life than Taza Chocolate.You know they say “stone ground”, but do you know what that means? It means it’s grainy, like you’re eating sand. Proper chocolate can be stone ground, but the fine grinding aspects and mix of sugar/fat ratio brings out the ACTUAL flavor of the bean. Taza grinds their sugar and incorporates their cacao fat into their chocolate like a teenager would do it at home as a science experiment. How do I know this? Because I’ve done it.What really irks me is that they call it “Mexican inspired”. They do this because they use “Red Molinos”. You’d think hand-ground right? Maybe a hand-stone mill? Think again. Their reference to “red molinos” is likely referring to a Mexican manufacturer called “Manufacturas Lenin”, and using a red machine called “San Luis Mill”, more commonly used for chilli and spices. In their website, Taza says “perfectly unrefined, minimally processed” chocolate. I have another word for it: a lazy scam that consists of no less than 8 highly-processing steps to lazily avoid quality control in favor of a poorly-executed product you can get away with by using dog whistles like “Mexican Inspired”, “rustic”, along with gritty and grainy.As for all the organic vegan BS on this product, it’s as far removed from ACTUAL chocolate as corn on the cob would be from pulled pork. It’s an insult to chocolate. You people should be sued for this embarrassment you call product.I would have returned the product for a full refund but I was so absolutely disgusted with it, that I couldn’t stand the sight of it, so I threw it away to ensure (to my self-satisfaction) that it wouldn’t be eaten by anyone. Ever.So if you want chocolate, skip this product. For a similar alternative, you may try a public toilet that has not been flushed. I am sure, to my horror, it would not be so different.Oh, and shame on you for using Mexico as an excuse for the substandard “product” you’re putting out. Especially when it’s made in Massachusetts, as you try to pass it off as inclusive because you’re using Mexican grinding machines. Pathetic doesn’t begin to describe it.
