Smooth w/ gentle grit. Wonderful grit adds mouth feel. Slightly creamy, bite but not bitter
“Chocolate With True Grit. We use traditional Mexican stone mills, called molinos, to grind our cacao. The hand-carved stones that turn inside these mills preserve the bright, fruity flavors of the beans, and create a chocolate that’s bold, rustic, and satisfyingly gritty — unlike any other chocolate you’ve tasted”I flipping LOVE this “Super Dark” chocolate (85%). I adore the slight grit. It adds to the sensory experience. It IS satisfying. It isn’t jarring to me at all. I’m in love. Think this is my new favorite for 85% cocoa because of the texture. It is just awesome (to me).This is my first time trying Taza chocolate. I am new to purposely eating dark chocolate. I dont know if my tastebuds have changed or if I was just trying the wrong stuff, but recently I have tried some very good dark chocolate, and I am preferring it over milk chocolate. It isnt as cloying. I find I can eat a little and be happy. I know it is healthier, which is a huge bonus. Pretty sure prior experience with dark chocolate was just HersheysSpecialDark, and so yeh.. when I decided to try dark chocolate again, I went for more premium brands (at premium prices).This is very good tasting to me. Has a bite, but not bitter. Just enough creaminess to lend a good mouth feel. The grit factor really adds a lot to the experience for me.Each packed round has 2 disks inside. Pack of 12 equates to 24 discs. Score marks allow for easy breaking off of pieces. I like that I can savor a slice at a time. I have not done anything else with it other than to eat it directly.

🇲🇽🍫TRULY AUTHENTIC MEXICAN-STYLE XOCOLATL!!🍫🇲🇽
I don’t typically write long, detailed reviews on Amazon, but I feel that the high quality of this product makes it truly worthy of it! These chocolate discs are truly an experience to behold! A really unique and special kind of dark chocolate bar, something you don’t normally see in stores! Made by an small indie company out in Somerville, Massachusetts, this product is truly worth the price based upon the quality and concept alone! The discs themselves come stacked in a small, compact box that lists all the ingredients used as well as all other relevant info. Using finely ground cocoa beans (Ancient Aztec word “Cacahuatl”) native to Mesoamerica, this company attempts to be as faithful to the taste and flavor of true authentic Mexicano-style chocolate (from the Nahuatl word “Xocolātl”) using organic, non-GMO, gluten-free ingredients from certified Direct-Trade cacao beans grown in Mexico! The discs themselves in the sampler are not that big – about roughly the size of a hockey puck – and can fit in the palm of your hand. They are individually wrapped in waxed paper with some beautiful designs, each which lists the ingredients used for the disc and the flavor. There are 8 separate flavors listed in the sampler: Super Dark, Cinnamon, Coffee, Vanilla, Salted Almond, Guajillo Chili, Cacao Puro, and Chipotle Chili. The discs themselves may be small, but the powerful and impactful taste of each really exceeds the amount! The cacao powder used to make it is stone ground – on a hand carved granite millstone as it says on the box – so finely you can actually taste the coarse, grainy, crumbly cacao powder as you bite into it, with the texture and consistency of sand, which melts away in your mouth as you chew! I was surprised how granulated it was; it felt like I was chewing on powder or sawdust sweetened with sugar and spices! It wasn’t at all like your average candy bar or chocolate sweet; it was a lot less uniform in solidity, and not as soft as milk chocolate. But, still, the flavor, by golly! It truly was an experience to behold! My mouth was filled with this unique sensation experiencing artisanly-crafted chocolate made with techniques used by Ancient civilizations millennia ago! I was really impressed by the uniqueness of flavor, it was unlike any other chocolate bar I’ve had! I cannot quite accurately describe it in as many words, it’s just something you will have to taste for yourself! Truly special! Glad I chose to make this purchase, happy I could enjoy the experience firsthand!

Like eating a cocoa bean
I used to hate dark chocolate, because I always thought the smooth richness and bitterness of regular dark chocolate just didn’t play very well together. But these little discs are amazing. The chocolate flavor is really intense with a bit of a crunch. The texture is what I love most about this chocolate. It’s a bit expensive, but well worth it for me. Really changed my opinion on dark chocolate!

Incorrect Listing Photos, but Good Taste
I was excited to try this variety pack of hot chocolate because of the advertised guajillo and chipotle flavors; however, it seems the flavors have been updated. The chipotle flavor has been removed and sea salt has taken its place. The chipotle flavor was something I was looking forward to, so that was a little disappointing.The guajillo flavor is very good and I didn’t notice the grittiness as some other reviewers have commented on. I also like that the chocolate seems to be high quality and there aren’t any added oils or artificial flavors that can make a hot drink taste awful.Overall, if you’re looking for an interesting variety of hot chocolates to try, give this a shot. Just be mindful you will receive sea salt instead of chipotle.

These are safer than regular chocolate.
I tried these and found them to be very good and a bit addictive so I don’t get them too often but I feel like they can make a good gift. They’re a bit more gritty which I find interesting and there are different flavors. I think it’s a great deal!

The Bars are easy to break in sections…..The chocolate feels a bit gritty as it melts in your mouth because it is stone ground….That is fine with me because I love the flavor of the 85%….

Love it. I bought this to make chocolate “barks” but I love it melted down just as hot chocolate. No sugar necessary. I used approx 3 triangles for 8 oz of milk. I particularly love the tony bit of ground beans left. Nice bouncy chew.
