My personal tastes run to dark chocolates. The stronger and less sweet the better. The higher percentage of cocoa solids or cocoa liquor the better. Lucky for me, the market is rich with ultra-strong chocolates these days, a situation which just wasn't true two or three years ago. Sadly, real life keeps me too busy to do many reviews these days, but I do expect someday to put up reviews of some of those ultra- strong products.
Darkness works only to a point, of course.
The Consuming Passion advocates learning to like unsweetened baker's chocolate. Doing so has the advantage that no one will ask you to share it with them more than once. With that said, the point of this page is to give my critical appraisal of all the chocolate I can get my hands on. Some of the best stuff is hard to find, but well worth it if you share this particular passion with me. In addition, I have provided some other information relating to chocolate in general that I think people might find interesting.
