Taza Chocolate Organic Mexicano Disc 85% Dark Chocolate, Super Dark, 2.75 Ounce (12 Count), VeganUSDA Organic

This sampler is dangerously good. I bought it to try something different and now I’m low-key obsessed. Every flavor is unique and satisfying, but the chili one? That’s my ride-or-die. Just the right balance of heat and dark chocolate richness.I’ve only eaten it by snapping off pieces so far, but now I’m dreaming of melting it into a spicy hot cocoa situation. The texture is gritty in the best way—stone ground and full of character. It’s not your average chocolate bar, and that’s exactly what I love about it.Highly recommend if you like bold flavors, real ingredients, and chocolate that doesn’t play by the rules.

"Chocolate With True Grit. We use traditional Mexican stone mills, called molinos, to grind our cacao. The hand-carved stones that turn inside these mills preserve the bright, fruity flavors of the beans, and create a chocolate that's bold, rustic, and satisfyingly gritty -- unlike any other chocolate you've tasted"I flipping LOVE this "Super Dark" chocolate (85%). I adore the slight grit. It adds to the sensory experience. It IS satisfying. It isn't jarring to me at all. I'm in love. Think this is my new favorite for 85% cocoa because of the texture. It is just awesome (to me).This is my first time trying Taza chocolate. I am new to purposely eating dark chocolate. I dont know if my tastebuds have changed or if I was just trying the wrong stuff, but recently I have tried some very good dark chocolate, and I am preferring it over milk chocolate. It isnt as cloying. I find I can eat a little and be happy. I know it is healthier, which is a huge bonus. Pretty sure prior experience with dark chocolate was just HersheysSpecialDark, and so yeh.. when I decided to try dark chocolate again, I went for more premium brands (at premium prices).This is very good tasting to me. Has a bite, but not bitter. Just enough creaminess to lend a good mouth feel. The grit factor really adds a lot to the experience for me.Each packed round has 2 disks inside. Pack of 12 equates to 24 discs. Score marks allow for easy breaking off of pieces. I like that I can savor a slice at a time. I have not done anything else with it other than to eat it directly.

So happy I discovered Tazo ! I like the texture of the chocolate. Rustic / less processed feel .

This chocolate tastes really good. I love the stone ground texture. It definitely has a quality taste to it, but the flavors are all pretty faint and don't come through as strong as I would have liked. The biggest complaint I have with this chocolate is the price. I paid $23 for this 8 pack sampler as a gift for my wife. After trying the chocolate and seeing the size of each disc, I would never pay this price again. As I write this review I see the chocolate is on a sale for $16.10 now. $2 a disc might be a more reasonable price if you want to try something special and unique.That being said, the chocolate is organic, doesn't contain toxic ingredients like dyes or artificial flavoring, etc. Quality chocolate can be hard to find, and I appreciate that Taza isn't using harmful ingredients.

I don't typically write long, detailed reviews on Amazon, but I feel that the high quality of this product makes it truly worthy of it! These chocolate discs are truly an experience to behold! A really unique and special kind of dark chocolate bar, something you don't normally see in stores! Made by an small indie company out in Somerville, Massachusetts, this product is truly worth the price based upon the quality and concept alone! The discs themselves come stacked in a small, compact box that lists all the ingredients used as well as all other relevant info. Using finely ground cocoa beans (Ancient Aztec word "Cacahuatl") native to Mesoamerica, this company attempts to be as faithful to the taste and flavor of true authentic Mexicano-style chocolate (from the Nahuatl word "Xocolātl") using organic, non-GMO, gluten-free ingredients from certified Direct-Trade cacao beans grown in Mexico! The discs themselves in the sampler are not that big - about roughly the size of a hockey puck - and can fit in the palm of your hand. They are individually wrapped in waxed paper with some beautiful designs, each which lists the ingredients used for the disc and the flavor. There are 8 separate flavors listed in the sampler: Super Dark, Cinnamon, Coffee, Vanilla, Salted Almond, Guajillo Chili, Cacao Puro, and Chipotle Chili. The discs themselves may be small, but the powerful and impactful taste of each really exceeds the amount! The cacao powder used to make it is stone ground - on a hand carved granite millstone as it says on the box - so finely you can actually taste the coarse, grainy, crumbly cacao powder as you bite into it, with the texture and consistency of sand, which melts away in your mouth as you chew! I was surprised how granulated it was; it felt like I was chewing on powder or sawdust sweetened with sugar and spices! It wasn't at all like your average candy bar or chocolate sweet; it was a lot less uniform in solidity, and not as soft as milk chocolate. But, still, the flavor, by golly! It truly was an experience to behold! My mouth was filled with this unique sensation experiencing artisanly-crafted chocolate made with techniques used by Ancient civilizations millennia ago! I was really impressed by the uniqueness of flavor, it was unlike any other chocolate bar I've had! I cannot quite accurately describe it in as many words, it's just something you will have to taste for yourself! Truly special! Glad I chose to make this purchase, happy I could enjoy the experience firsthand!
