Chocolate Tasting #2

SB=Scharffen Berger 70% pure "bittersweet"
VS=Villars Swiss 72% pure "dark chocolate"

Choclate Tasting music (A View to A Kill-Duran Duran)

SB:

V-Firm, doesn't melt, strong snap. Orange flavor. Very strong and clean afterwards. I like it, but not my favorite

K-smells like teen spirit (i mean dried leaves) liquor. Doesn't melt. cherries and maple flavor. Mild aftertaste.


VS:

V: Clean snap, melts easier. More bitter. very different flavor. like a grape, with a clean clear first break, follwed by a tart flavor, but a more bitter coffee flavor. Strong aftertaste. You know you've eaten dark chocolate. Smoky long afterwards.

K: Nuttier. chalkier texture. Bitter orange coffee flavor, followed by nuts. 2 very distinct flavors, in stages. Much stronger aftertaste. Epitome of dark choc. feels lonely by itself.


Final:

V: I prefer the VS. It is more classic dark chocolate. Both are interesting, but the VS is probably a more robust. Would like some port...

K: I prefer the SB. Texture is important and the SB has better texture. By istelf the SB has a shorter aftertaste, which is more pleasant without accompaniment (other than Duran Duran...)
