Afrique Noir, 85% dark chocolate bar

An initial aroma of deep cocoa and roasted coffee bean. A smoky start to the flavour of this single origin chocolate is soon lifted with a slight acidity, as in a fine single origin coffee, notable earthy, vegetal flavours with a bitter finish.

Created from Forestero cocoa from Africa. We have selected this chocolate as part of our Superior Selection range for its outstanding flavour profile and purity of ingredients.

Absolute perfection!

Out of the 85% cocoa chocolate bars I have tried this and the michel cluizel grand noir 85% are my favourites. Bitter but not burnt and you can just tell its a good cocoa. Pralus would have been in my top three but it does vary a little and can be quite heavily roasted at times.

Absolute perfection!

I like the heavy roasted chocolate bars and this, along with some of the Pralus chocolate bars such as the Equateur and Colombie, both at 75% dark chocolate I would definitely recommend.

Worth a try

Strong, acidic with vanilla flavours, this chocolate leaves a lovely initial impression. However the consistency is quite dry and rough and ruins any flavour. Shame really. I won't be buying it again.
