The cut up pieces with "valrhona" imprint are from an identical pack. Ingredients: Cocoa Bean. Confusingly called "pate" this product is actually so hard you could break your jaw trying to bite it. This is the best tasting unsweetened chocolate i have tried so far.
The taste is very strong but not harsh. The texture is crisp / brittle when you first bite quickly turning into a yogurt like goo when it melts in the mouth.
I borrowed Lindt and Godiva bars from my father for the purpose of size and color comparison. 90% Lindt is actually darker than this 100% Valrhona but the color of Lindt isn't as natural looking and it is much more bland in terms of taste and texture.
I have initially experienced euphoria / high after trying this chocolate much as i did when i first tried 85% valrhona. It seems i have now gotten used to it but the fact remains valrhona tastes deceptively smooth obscuring its true strength which is impressive. 100% recommended !

I bought this bar and some Cocoa Powder too. Can't WAIT for it to arrive.

Very sexy. I tried it at Whole Foods, but the bars are CONSIDERABLY smaller there. Will definitely check out the website. You really go after what you want! Very curious about your shopping lists...
