Green & Black's Organic 70% Dark Chocolate

You tend to pay a bit of a price premium when you buy any of the Green and Black range of chocolate, partly because it is organic and also as they are targetting more the chocolate fanatic who wants to feel like they are getting something more refined and a bit extra for their money. I must admit my chocolate tastes are a bit less refined and maybe that is why I did not enjoy this as much as I thought would as I do like dark chocolate even if I do consume a lot of milk. This is a 70% dark chocolate so it has a higher concentration of coca beans. It certainly has a lovely rich smell when you remove the wrapper and a wonderful dark colour.

Green & Black's is probably considered to be one of the finest mass-market British chocolate makers today. Their insistence on producing both organic and fair trade products is well known.

Made with more cocoa solids than most chocolate brands and using cocoa butter rather than vegetable fat, Green & ...  Read the complete review

Green and Blacks Organic 70% Dark Chocolate, as the name suggests is a dark chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa mass. All the ingredients are organic including raw cane sugar which makes a change from the awful overly refined white sugar used by most manufacturers. I personally found it quite nice, from the strong rich smell upon opening to the first bite. Bear in mind I like my chocolate chilled or frozen and I'm not sure what effect this has on the taste but I found this chocolate to have a very strong, nicely bitter flavour with a slight sweetness, the texture is very smooth and there is a slightly bitter after taste with a hint of vanilla. I also ...  Read the complete review
