[...] that I don’t really like. It sort of reminded me of the Green & Black’s bar that I tasted which I don’t like at all, but in the Toscana bar the flavor was a bit more controlled. [...]

Oooh yum! Have you ever tried Marcolini chocolates? They’re my current favorite, although give me a plain bar of truly good dark chocolate anytime!

Interesting. I like G&B’s a lot (maybe they changed ever since they got bought out too?) Valrhona’s one of my fav brands, but I can’t stomach the 71% blend. It tastes like cumin or something. Not a fan of Scharffen Berger. I like some of the Michel Cluizels, but the single-origin bars are crumbly to me. Haven’t tried Amedei, but now I’ll have to get a bar!

I’m a big fan of the Cluizel chocolates and I’ve tried the full range.. I really think the single plantations are even better – especially the green coloured bar from Saint Domingue.

Chuck: Hmm…I honestly never heard of Amano bars. Heard and seen Theo but never Amano. I’ll keep my eyes open for that. Thanks!

Dana: You’re welcome! Yeah, I don’t like Green & Black’s as you can see from my tasting.

Ooh…really? Well, I guess you can try to scour your local gourmet supermarket (if you have one) and hope to find some European chocolates.

Giulia: LOL! Definitely try the Amedei if you can get your hands on it and Michel Cluizel! Maybe I should get you some for Christmas instead? Methinks and schemes…

Thanks for post! You’re truly saving my taste buds, and not to mention my wallet, some major work. The only non-milk chocolate I ever tried was Green and blacks, and I found it uneatable. I thought it was just me since I usually eat milk chocolate, but I’m glad to see there’s better options out there. I suppose I’ll get some scharffen bergers since they’re widely available. I’m glad you included some american brands since I don’t think I’ve seen any of the european brands you tested around here (new haven).

You should try to seek out the Amano bars (American made.) I think they’re just as good as Amedei (my former favorite.)
