Taza Chocolate Organic Amaze Bar 70% Stone Ground, Coconut, 2.5 Ounce (1 Count), Vegan

Got into a discussion on CNN Facebook about chocolate and has posted that Amazon had chocolate at a reasonable price. Ordered it late Feb. 13th and it arrived in less than 24 hours. Dark chocolate is recommended by medical professionals for the brain as a supplement. The National Institute of Health 2020 study "Beneficial Effects of Dark Chocolate for Episodic Memory in Healthy Young Adults:" declared it improves cognitive function and brain health. That was my Valentine's Treat to self-care. Amazon buys good products. I was pleased to seek TAZA from Beans to the Bar is a certified Direct Trade Cacao dealer-favors farmer. A factory in Massachusetts was made because the CEO, Mr. Whitmore, visited Oaxaca, Mexico, and fell in love with stone ground chocolate techniques in Hispanic culture. The dark chocolate bar is large-length of my wrist to my middle finger tip and as wide as my palm. Opening it, the smell of dark chocolate entices one for a bite. It is scored in small rectanges 2 per row. You can eat it directly, and it is mostly chocolate with natural coconut and organic sugar but not bitter at all. It has a strong chocolate flavor, which I like. The last 4 rectangles I melted in my cocoa cup on a hot plate and added brown sugar and water. Dark syrup like chocolate with an appropriate amount of oil as in 22 percent and likely plant oil. It is considered two servings as in half the bar. Half a direct eat and the other half hot cocoa drink. :) I helped some farmer somewhere growing food.

The marriage of Taza's chocolate and coconut bar left a lot to be desired. Biting and chewing this product presented a terrible mouth experience. Gritty and unpleasant! Unfortunately this was not the product for me. I have eaten very dark chocolate before and I am aware of the consistency of coconut. I was not quite expecting a mounds or almond joy cream texture, but nor was I expecting granules of a roughage type food item either.

loved this dark chocolate. It’s not a smooth chocolate but the taste is just right- not too sweet

Husband loves this dark chocolate bar.

Excellent taste and consistency. But I paid $5.00 and that was on sale for the equivalent of a standard size Hershey bar. Listen, it’s DEFINITELY not that special!!! …Never again because they’ve lost their mind charging that much for this quality and I am too for thinking it would have been anything more than what it is.

I suggest maybe only purchasing this bar in the dead of winter. I received mine today and its pure white. Does not look edible or appetizing at all. And it cannot be returned/refunded. Waste of money.

Tazo is ABSOLUTELY the best chocolate I have ever had in my life. It's quality is ten stars, with natural ingredients, natural flavors, and no added colors or preservatives. The flavored chocolate is seriously OUTSTANDING. If it's vanilla, you WILL TASTE vanilla, chocolate with almond will taste like almonds, and even the chocolates made with Chile's (real green Chile's with a real ZING, robed in outstanding CHOCOLATE) are quite good! THIS PRODUCT is worth the money, as it is something to savor, and to serve to guests, even. I love buying the multiple flavors package and just enjoying all that FLAVOR, but in moderate amounts. It's a mega treat for myself. Everybody should have a treat now and then; and if you haven't chosen one for yourself, well here's your chance! ENJOY!!

As an Easter treat for the wife, this was a great choice. While it is only about 3/4 of a full size bar, it has premium ingredients and given how quickly it was devoured, I can say it was very good. I would consider buying this again for special occasions, pairing with wine after a special dinner party, or adding it to a gift basket of foodie items.
