Taza Chocolate Organic Seriously Good Dark Chocolate Bar Variety Pack Bundle, 2.5 oz (4 count), Vegan

These bars are wonderful. The stone ground method of producing chocolate leaves a bit of a grit texture behind that is delicious.

Taza chocolate did well on Consumer Reports lead/cadmium list so I was happy to find this variety pack. Not all stores carry Taza. It tastes a little gritty b/c it's 'stone ground' but overall very good!

I have to say i was very excited to try this stone ground chocolate, i like the grainy texture of more unrefined chocolates. However, the taste is just not great. There is an almost minty aftertaste (or maybe just flavor) to all of these 4 different bars that suggests to me a very old product. Maybe i’m missing something. It tastes like old expired, sitting in a drawer for a year plus chocolate. The dates of expiration are almost a year away. What gives, guys? ****Update: Well, the strange taste has gone away, after a week of them sitting in their packaging after being opened, except in the salted almond bar- it’s particular strangeness is less minty now and more just kind of odd, and i wouldn’t get that one again. So i have updated to 4 stars. Maybe the strange minty taste is just very very fresh chocolate somehow? And it evaporates after being exposed to air for a week? So many mysteries.

This is by far the worst chocolate I have ever eaten. It seriously tastes like "chocolate chalk," only not that great either. I appreciate the way this particular type of chocolate is made etc. but I personally think you'd have to be raised on this type of dry "weirdness" in order to fully appreciate it or to have a "developed" taste for it. I tried to make myself eat them with the fact they are supposedly of high quality, plus the expense plus it was the only chocolate I had at the time. I was hopeful that those with nuts the Sea Salt and Nut, and Hazelnut and Praline would help with the chalkiness, but not, still chalky. One bite of the Cacao Crunch and I was done! Not only was it very bizarre tasting ( yuk) but at first I thought it was the Seriously Dark bar as the wrapper looked like it matched better than the pink wrapper that it came in. No matter how much I tried to make myself eat this chocolate, my tongue would have none of it ! So all but one bar went in the trash and that was the "Seriously Dark" which even it needed a lot of honey added to it, and I eventually ended up throwing it out too.Finally, I didn't like the fact that in the Amazon ad it doesn't show you a picture of all four bars separately with their individual ingredients, not a very good job of disclosure. Not sure about this company really. As much as I appreciate all the logistics behind the making of Taza chocolate, not only will I not purchase these again, neither do I recommend them at all.

This is my favorite dark chocolate and I love the different varieties all in one handy little box. They always arrive fresh and well packaged. It's a little pricy but definitely worth it.

So good!

Very chalky! Gave it away. I’m sticking with 70%.

Maybe because it is " Stoned Ground" IDK? But this "chocolate" has a chalky texture and just doesn't taste like a dark chocolate I'm familiar with, and I've had many types and brands. Maybe nothing wrong with this chocolate brand, but if you are expecting a traditional commercial brand dark chocolate, don't buy this brand.
