Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had the privileges of traveling the world, living in Europe for three years, and being able to sample most any food I've had the desire to taste. Chocolate has always been one of my favorite foods.
That being said, this is simply the best chocolate I've ever had the privilege to sample. Dozens of subtle flavors dance across the tongue as each type of taste bud brings slight variations in this creamy smooth bittersweet confection. Best experienced by sharing with a friend, although I'm sure other pairings would work well too. Easily 5 stars for the chocolate, and the packaging is quite attractive.
However, there is more to the experience than simply the product. In this case, the single 50 gram bar of chocolate costs $12, but the price must include shipping (obviously) which bumps the price to a whopping $22. No significant options are given for shipping, and "expedited" means that it will take two weeks for the item to arrive. On the plus side, the chocolate did arrive with a small ice pack, but given that the current ambient temperatures were all well below freezing this seemed rather unnecessary. The item would have been received much faster, cheaper, and probably as in good of condition if it had been mailed via standard US postage. So, I deducted one star for service. I might have thought otherwise had I ordered the item in July; however in that case the single ice pack would not have been enough to survive a two week shipping time.
So, overall I highly recommend this chocolate. Given the cost of shipping, I recommend ordering a quantity sufficient to cover the costs. It only makes sense to order many, as once your friends and family discover you have this wonderful chocolate you'll need enough to share!
