A housewife’s review on Chocolat Bonnat Equateur from Dawn Woodgate. Dawn is an amateur baker but a full time chocolate lover. I hope you enjoy her review!

Pralus 75% Vanuatu

This Pralus 75% Vanuatu dark chocolate was predominantly one that tasted of gingerbread with the occasional hint of orange. I loved that its from a different origin, but I'll have to try more from their before I make my mind up.

Chocolaterie Mussy Origine Pérou 75%

Single origin fine chocolate should have bags of flavour, it should take you on a merry dance, it should surprise you and excite you. This bar didn't. The flavour was almost anonymous!

Pralus Caracas 75%

I've got to say that this Pralus Caracas 75% isn't anywhere near as good as their previous bars. It uses Venezuelan cacao along with some from Ghana - which I don't think does it any credit.

Chapon Ecuador 75%

This Chapon Ecuador bar certainly isn't rich, complicated or robust. Instead it has a strikingly orange flavour with base notes of caramel. If you just wanted some light 75% chocolate then I'd certainly suggest you try this one out.

Åkesson’s 75% Criollo Madagascar

This bar offers a sweet and sour experience with the balance of saltiness and red fruits. Although it's not perfect, it still does offer an immensely enjoyable experience.

Pralus Cuba 75% Dark Chocolate

I was hoping for so much more from Pralus with this 75% bar made with Cuban cacao. But alas it was very muted and left me wanting more acidity. If you are looking for a mild dark chocolate bar with less cocoa butter then try this one.

Laurent Gerbaud Yuzu 75% Dark Chocolate Bar

I love citrus flavoured chocolate, but this Yuzu bar from Laurent Gerbaud had the right tone in terms of flavour, and a delightful creaminess, but the melt was far to short.

Jean-Paul Hévin Príncipe 75%

I'm normally fond of what Jean-Paul Hévin does. But with this one I thought was way off the mark!

Patrick Roger 75% Dark Chocolate From Peru

This Patrick Roger 75% Dark Chocolate From Peru dark chocolate bar was a huge dissapointment and nothing compared to his other bars. I might just have had a bad one, so if you've had it and it was good then please let me know.

Pralus Chuao 75%

This Pralus Chauo Bar is the best dark bar I've ever tasted - and should be tried if you ever get the chance.

Chapon Columbie 75% Cacao

This Chapon Columbie 75% Cacao is perhaps my most favourite bar of dark chocolate of all time - simply sensational!

Pralus Indonesie 75% Cocoa Single Origin Dark Chocolate Bar

The Pralus Indonesie is a very good bitter dark chocolate bar, but I fear not their best.

Bonnat Hacienda El Rosario 75% Dark Chocolate

I expected so much more from the Bonnat Hacienda El Rosario 75% Dark Chocolate and was left feeling very dissapointed.

Chapon 75% Dark Chocolate From Cuba

Quite possibly the best chocolate bar I've ever tasted. You have to try Chapon dark chocolate.

Pralus Tanzanie Dark Chocolate

Pralus Tanzanie (Tanzania) is a great bar of chocolate that has a wide variety of notes that all add to a fantastic flavour.

Thorntons Dark Chocolate With Balsamic

I do like the Thornton's Blocks, they're a good introduction for some people into different types of flavours - although I wasn't a big fan of this one.

Pralus Madagascar 75% Dark Chocolate

Pralus do make some fantastic dark chocolate a variety of flavours, even at the same cocoa content and this Madagascar 75% Single Origin Dark Chocolate is a good place to start.

Venchi Peperoncino, 75% Chilli Chocolate Bar

I was dissapointed with this Venchi Peperoncino, 75% Chilli Chocolate Bar. I love chilli chocolate but this one wasn't anywhere near as strong as I liked.

Pralus Trinidad 75% Dark Chocolate

The Pralus Trinidad 75% Dark Chocolate is a wonderful chocolate bar and is up to the standard that Pralus sets.

Pralus Bresil 75% Dark Chocolate Bar

Pralus make some wonderful dark chocolate and their Bresil, 75% Cocoa, Single Origin, Dark Chocolate Bar is one of my favourite.
