Taza Chocolate Organic Amaze Bar 95% Stone Ground, Wicked Dark, 2.5 Ounce (10 Count), Vegan

I was so sad when my local Fresh Market stopped carrying this brand as it’s the only safe chocolate option for my body per my doctor in order to keep lead and cadmium levels down. So thankful that the bars I got today were SO fresh as I was worried about the quality changing sitting on a hot truck somewhere. Hope this continues!! Love this chocolate, but more importantly I’m so thankful for peace of mind in knowing I’m getting all the good benefits and none of the toxic stuff!!

Love the pure chocolate flavor! It is a bit grainy because it's stone ground. Love to eat with some nuts as a snack. I have tried it in a vegan chocolate mousse (chocolate + water) and the graininess is still evident in the mousse. I have not tried to bake with it.

TAZA DELICIOUSLY DARK CHOCOLATE. I LOVE Green and Black's but it's not safe enough for me.So far, Taza is doing an adequate job. It's not G & B but it is SAFER and I am a chocolate Lover. The grit: I got use to it. The flavour: milder than G & B - . But over all, so that I'm not killing myself eating chocolate, it works. I'm sorry to learn about G &B chocolate because I really LOVED it and ate a lot of it. So much for that. GOOD LUCK in your CHOCOLATE SEARCH !!

THE CHOCOLATE IS 5 STARS, but amazon has gone down hill so fast. This is not the only product deliver I am PO'd about.I have ordered these bars in the middle of a Phoenix summer and they have been perfectly fine. The chocolate is formed, shiny the break lines are clear. This last box I received were powdery, a brownish dusty look, no break lines. I knew these had been melted, but I was unsure of the powdery coating. I was so unsure if these were safe to eat, that I sent pictures to TAZA. Luckily they are safe to eat, even though it looks nothing like their bar. Oh, and the temp was 70 degrees. These had been melted in Amazon's warehouse and recooled. I will ONLY BUY THESE FROM TAZA from now on.

The texture of the chocolate was a bit unexpected. It is a little gritty, but it reminds me of chocolate with cacao nibs ground up in it. The texture does not bother me. The chocolate flavor is very intense. It is only slightly sweet--it is not sweet like a candy bar. I don't like a lot of sugar so this is perfect for me. I like that I can eat a chunk of it and not want to eat the rest of the bar. I used it to make some chocolate coconut almond butter, and it melted well and works very well as an ingredient. The chocolate flavor is very evident. Anyone looking for a Hershey bar is going to be disappointed. If you like natural dark (very dark!) and not very sweet chocolate, then this product is for you.

Very, very bitter. It doesn’t melt in your mouth at all and although I knew it wouldn’t be like eating a Hershey bar, this takes bitter to a whole new level. It’s not enjoyable by any stretch of the imagination.

I have tried quite a few others, and this is by far my favorite. I like that it's a stone ground, very high 95% dark, organic chocolate which is direct traded from the growers and paid for at better than "fair trade" prices and that it only has 4 grams of total sugar per 2.5-ounce (70 gram) bar. I find the slightly gritty texture to be unique and exotic!

things to know: this is not a sweet bar of chocolate. if you're looking for a smooth dark h*rshey bar, this isn't it. also: TAZA does Mexican-style chocolate, which means stone ground, with a not-smooth texture. (but so so good. trust.)95% chocolate, v little sugar, strong enough that you won't want to eat a whole bar (or even a half a bar--1/8 a bar is usually perfect), practically a health food. if you're used to eating v v little/no sugar, this will taste sweet (ish).PROs:--low sugar--minimal processing--organic--Direct Trade Certified--your spouse/kids probably aren't going to steal this from youCONs--price? but worth it and lasts awhile
