Advantages: Dark chocolate is nice

Disadvantages: Pricey

This is one of those upmarket chocolate brands and clearly Seeds of Change are aiming to compete in the same market segment as Green and Black as a 100g bar will set you back around the £2 mark which is almost double the prive of a standard Cadbury bar of the same size.

I must say that I liked this chocolate, there is nothing wrong with the quality or the taste it is just the fact that I do not think it really justifies the extra cost that you have to pay. This is a dark chocolate and combining this with an orange flavour certainly makees for an enjoyable treat, however I could not detect the flavour of the figs and I do wonder if these are not just added into the product to make it distinctive and justify the extra price that they charge.

This is an organic product and certainly the dark chocolate itself was very nice with a strong rich cocoa flavour The orange flavouring comes from small crystalised bits and the figs do give it a slightly chewy texture even if they do not add much in the way of flavour.

I did not find it very moorish and unlike a bar of milk chocolate it was not hard to resist the temptation of wolfing it down in one go, I would only buy this again if I came across it on special offer.

Summary: Organic chocolate
