Michel Cluizel Noir Infini 99%

This Michel Cluizel Noir Infini 99% chocolate bar is most certainly not for people that like milk chocolate or don’t like bitter or dark chocolate as it is incredibly bitter. I got this 30g bar from The Chocolate Trading Co for just £1.85. But if you’re buying for the wrong person it’ll be wasted.

As you can see the packaging is beautiful. It reminded me of buying fine crafts from stalls as the paper is of high quality and embossed in gold. You can just tell from that that you’re buying a high quality, product for chocolate purists. And when you open it up and unravel it from the gold foil you’re met with a really nice piece of chocolate, although it didn’t look as dark as I’d expected it too.

One of the first things you’ll notice is the very strong aroma that will hit you. This is nothing compared to the flavour. When you try some you’ll think your taste buds have been assaulted as it is incredibly bitter. I wouldn’t advise trying a very small nibble at a time as you will be shocked when you try it. I’d also advise having a glass of milk, cup of tea or coffee when you have it just to restore order to your mouth.

This most certainly isn’t a chocolate that you’ll find yourself eating without noticing. You’ll be aware of every bite.

Rating:
Taste: 10% – I love dark chocolate, but 99% is just taking a bit far!
Texture: 70% – It’s lovely and crisp, can’t fault it
Price: 60% – At £1.85 for 30g its not bad. But it’s considerably cheaper when you realise that that bar will last weeks!
Overall: 46.66%
