The tobacco notes in this bar are already evident in the aroma. In the mouth they are joined by dry, earthy notes and tannins, as well as a slight citrus edge towards the finish. A long dry aftertaste follows, still with lingering hints of tobacco.

This very well balanced bar carries flavours of brazil nuts and mushrooms, with a spicy warmth and hints of nutmeg, and offers a smooth, yet multi-layered tasting experience.

This extraordinary bar from a rare origin reveals a distinctly smoky flavour - the beans are roasted over woodsmoke - accompanied by rich Trinitario aromas and followed by a strong and full finish and a dry aftertaste. A bar which definitely extends your tasting horizon.

Update: This bar sadly is no longer sold.

This Indonesian bar is one of the most unusual origin bars available. Not only is it pure Criollo, but at 45% it is also very light. Try this for a strong impression of Criollo chocolate with a distinct note of caramel, as well as vanilla.

In effect this is the dark version of Melissa, as it is a pure Criollo bar from the same origin with 75% cocoa. Nevertheless the Criollo taste is more subtle in this bar than in its lighter cousin. It is accompanied by notes of liquorice and black treacle, with a bitter finish and dry aftertaste.

This is another very good bar from PRALUS. Its aroma already gives away the slightly acidic flavours of citrus fruits which fill your mouth together with a beautiful example of the distinctive Criollo taste. This bar is not at all bitter, despite 75% cocoa solids, and has a slightly oily but very pleasant texture.

This Forastero bar offers a rich and pleasant experience albeit without any surprises. A safe bet but perhaps not the first choice for a tasting event.

Update: This bar appears to have been discontinued.

From the homeland of the Trinitario, this bar delivers a rich and slightly dry flavour with notes of spices and berry fruits and hints of tobacco and burnt wood. It finishes off well, with a good aftertaste.

A thoroughly satisfying bar, Colombie offers notes of coffee and acidic fruit as well as a hint of wood. Expect a slightly dry but pleasing finish and a very good aftertaste.

This well-balanced bar combines sweet Criollo flavours with the warmer and richer taste of a fruity Trinitario. The latter component is also responsible for the excellent finish of this bar.

Update: This bar has been replaced by the Djakarta bar.

A less strong performance than some other bars by PRALUS, this chocolate is perfectly pleasant but does not broaden the taste horizon in the way we have come to expect from this house. A pleasant dryness with a hint of acidity and some notes of coffee, liquorice and nut.
