This is terrible. It is greasy, too hard and has an overly smokey taste, no subtlety at all. I eat a lot of Porcelana (alas...) and this just has none of the qualities that other Porcelana have. The Valrhona Pedegral is excellent, very fruity and soft. Amedei's Porcelana is the best in my view, more complex and deeper in flavour than the Pedegral, with an aftertaste of dried fruit and tobacco (but I do eat both). The Bonnat I wouldn't touch with a barge pole. If you like deep and smokey, then you're better off buying Greens and Blacks 80%. I don't like that particular brand but if you're after this kind of taste, then 100g of the latter will set you back about £2 instead of £9.45! But if you want a real Porcelana experience, try Valrhona or Amedei, you won't be disappointed.

Having bought Amedei's porcelana from the Chocolate Trading Co before, and always being very pleased with my purchase, I thought I would try this Bonnat porcelana and have some fun comparing the two chocolate bars.
Whilst, in my opinion the Amedei bar may have a slight edge, The Bonnat bar was enjoyed by all and at double the size of the Amedei bar, is very worthy of your attention, hence I have awarded it 4 stars.
