Taza Chocolate Organic Amaze Bar 95% Stone Ground, Wicked Dark, 2.5 Ounce (6 Count), VeganUSDA Organic

We got our dark chocolate today. It was so well protected with an ice pack for proper delivery. Thank you so much for that. As for the chocolate, it was an unexpected surprise since this was our first try. We read a purchase review online & had to try it. Wow. Did not disappoint. So delicious. Not as strong as typical 70% dark chocolate. We are definitely happy customers. Thank you so much.

The texture of the chocolate was a bit unexpected. It is a little gritty, but it reminds me of chocolate with cacao nibs ground up in it. The texture does not bother me. The chocolate flavor is very intense. It is only slightly sweet--it is not sweet like a candy bar. I don't like a lot of sugar so this is perfect for me. I like that I can eat a chunk of it and not want to eat the rest of the bar. I used it to make some chocolate coconut almond butter, and it melted well and works very well as an ingredient. The chocolate flavor is very evident. Anyone looking for a Hershey bar is going to be disappointed. If you like natural dark (very dark!) and not very sweet chocolate, then this product is for you.

I am torn because I'm a huge fan of authentic, organic products and am one of those granola guys who're huge on whole foods, sustainability and wellness. Therefore, based on the Consumer Reports heavy metals report and the product description (no ditching etc), the die-hard dark chocolate fan in me decided to give this product a try. The flavor is interesting (lots of layers), but the texture is essentially like sand. So, in a nutshell, it's really like eating sand mixed with dark chocolate (as we traditionally know it). I would NOT recommend you get this product if you hope to actually enjoy eating it. Take it as medicine for all the great health benefits or for the experience, but there is zero pleasure in this and I will never buy it again. No regrets though. It was my decision. The product description isn't misleading. I, as a consumer, underestimated just how unrefined it would be. That's all. Unless you know what crude cacao feels and tastes like at the start of the production process, do NOT buy this product. You WILL regret it. 🤣

Good strong flavor. Has gritty consistency that some may not like. Since it has less chemicals than most chocolate I will stick with it. I do like it!

Wow! I didn’t know what I was missing until I tried Taza’s unrefined, stone ground, organic chocolate. The flavor, freshness and quality really stand out, like trying fresh, artisan bread for the first time. I had this 10 minutes ago and have a lingering aftertaste where the mild sweetness intermingled with the rich chocolate flavor hints at cinnamon and raspberry, but it isn’t flavored. Those flavor notes are from the chocolate pods themselves. The stone ground texture is very even, like chewing ground hazelnuts (there’s no hazelnut flavor).I bought this after reading the Consumer Reports article on lead and cadmium in chocolate, where the Taza brand was the best rated organic dark chocolate for much lower traces of those metals.I’m hooked.

It gets great reviews for all the right reasons. So I'll give it a 4. But it tastes like you're chewing on a cigarette. It is the only dark chocolate that I struggle to put down and wish I didn't buy six bars. I can't do it. Lol.

I was so sad when my local Fresh Market stopped carrying this brand as it’s the only safe chocolate option for my body per my doctor in order to keep lead and cadmium levels down. So thankful that the bars I got today were SO fresh as I was worried about the quality changing sitting on a hot truck somewhere. Hope this continues!! Love this chocolate, but more importantly I’m so thankful for peace of mind in knowing I’m getting all the good benefits and none of the toxic stuff!!

I love super dark chocolate but finding one without unecessary ingredients has proven to be difficult. I usually get mine from Thrive Market but they have been out of stock for a couple months and this was one of the only other brands I could find that was organic and didn't have any added contidtioners. The taste is excellent, one of the best tasting dark chocolates I have had. The texture is a bit gritty but the name says stone ground so between that and the reviews I expected that. I don't mind the texture at all just don't get this expecting nice, smooth chocolate. This is definitely for someone who likes the pure, somewhat bitter taste of chocolate.
