Vosges – Oaxaca 75%
Vosges Boutique @ Soho
Chilles ingredients clearly tasted, but does not enhance chocolate taste. Overwhelms the complexity and quality of Vosges chocolate medium that supposedly is justified by the $7.50/bar price tag. Unremarkable, not recommended given the high price. | Taste: 7.5/10 Quality: 9/10 Consistency: 9/10 |
Spiced dark chocolate is ridiculously overrated. I am pretty sure the idea of peppering bars with spices, with perhaps the best intent, ultimately became a form of generating variety, such that a steady stream of novel flavors could be perpetuated in the overpriced dark chocolate market catering to the wealthy and wannabe connesoiurs. This bar is completely unremarkable, both in complexity and spice taste. It’s a plain chocolate bar, with no particularly obvious flavor notes, that has the taste of plain ole’ spices in it. That is it, and that is all. Although those who adore the spice and dark chocolate combination may like this bar (I have yet to meet such a person), I was completely unimpressed by both the quality and taste of it. The $7.50 price tag did not help, and I am glad I only tasted this via free sampling. Ingredients: guajillo & pasilla chillies + Tanzanian bittersweet chocolate
