Purest chocolateJust compare the ingredients with other premium dark chocolate. No soya lecithin. Just chocolate. Excellent flavour and texture. Nothing else matches it.

Great productIf you enjoy a bit of chocolate but want to stay healthy then this is just the thing. High cocoa percentage means more antioxidants and you only need a few squares to satisfy your craving.
Lindt is my preferred brand, great taste and quality.

Lindt 85%Definitely one of my favorite dark chocolates. This and 85% take the cake when it comes to quality, bittersweet, healthy-ish goodness. I would recommendNOT freezing this one, since the high cacao content makes the bar hard to begin with. Also would not recommend baking with this, simply because of how high quality it is. I would however, use it to drizzle and garnish desserts. This bar also tastes great with dark red, sweet cherries. Stay away from anything too artificially sugary when pairing this however, since other added sugars will accentuate the bitterness.

rich n intenseThe only way to consume a chocolate of this quality is to allow one or two pieces to melt in the mouth (without chewing), to savour the experience of each second on every conscious level. Bourbon vanilla tones down any bitterness that a high percentage cacao, and a low sugar chocolate formula may have. We adore this melted in hot milk for a delicious cup of hot chocolate. Sometimes we make other additions of spices or other flavourings. Once you have this 'real' hot chocolate, you won't want to go back to pre-packaged powders. I also use this Lindt bar to make chocolate serving cups, ready to hold mousse or one scoop of ice-cream. This chocolate bar is good for making chocolate cupcakes with dulce de leche frosting, and topped with candied bacon, or to make a Mexican mole style rich chocolate sauce for chicken enchiladas. Once you try a higher percentage cacao chocolate bar, it can become difficult to go back to other bars, so I keep a permanent assortment of Lindt 70%, 85% and 90% in my kitchen drawers, ready to consume, and which one I opt for depends on my mood. When you break off a piece from any of the 3 bars, they all have the snap of a quality chocolate

Great quality, delicious chocolateLindt is known for their amazing chocolate and have not let us down with this. We love a good dark chocolate in this house and have really enjoyed this bar.
We have tried other brands in the past - but this is tops. As with all dark chocolates there is a standard bitterness but this feels smooth and indulgent. We enjoy having one or two squares in the evening after dinner and feel like we've had a great treat. A great way to unwind after a long day.
I would recommend this bar to anyone who likes dark chocolate.

lint dark chocolatewhen looking at the bar of chocolate thought this will taste great. i broke a peice off it and put it in my mouth it was horrible the taste was soo bitter that i had to spit it out. I could not deal with the taste and its after taste. I would not recommend it as its horrible. I think it more for people who like the bitter taste of dark chocolate. its not something i would go for or buy in a supermarket or shop. there are people who like dark chocolate and its not something i would eat or even try again.
