Teuscher: 77% Cacao Bar

I’ve finally worked through my backlog of Vosges reviews after all that Vosges talk in the last week or so. A relief, right?

No. The work of a chocolate blogger is never complete. I must move along to the list of Teuscher creations to review. While I concluded the Vosges series with a relatively disappointing dark chocolate bar, my experience with Teuscher has been that they work fairly well with plain chocolates. With that high expectation in mind, I checked out their 77% cacao dark chocolate bar.

A fruity aroma, with distinct banana notes present, is accented by some coffee and vanilla.

A smooth, buttery melt makes it possible to enjoy every individual flavor as it builds: a coffee flavor, followed by some nuttiness and a bit of cranberry at the end. A tiny bit of sugar cuts through the bitterness of the bar, and the overall effect is a pleasing dark chocolate bar.
