Taza Chocolate Organic Amaze Bar 80% Stone Ground, Sea Salt Almond, 2.5 Ounce (6 Count), VeganUSDA Organic

Taza offers a unique chocolate experience that I highly recommend. The texture is an enjoyable gritty one that needs to be tried to be properly understood. I've never had a Taza product I didn't enjoy. As I tend to eat a low sugar diet in general, the 95% dark is perfect. The bitter is perfectly balanced by a light sweetness. I have had more complex chocolates, but it isn't bland. The texture, in my opinion, really makes this chocolate bar.My experience with the shipping was good. It looks as though Taza had a local chocolate/cheese company ship the chocolate to me, so it had a short journey to me. The local shop (shout out Caputo's) did a good job insulating the chocolate. I 100% appreciate that Taza did not have the chocolate shipped through an Amazon facility because so little care is put into shipping products from Amazon warehouses. It seems that some people have had issues with their orders being shipped properly, so I hope that this is a practice that Taza is implementing on a broad scale. For anyone concerned about this, I would recommend reaching out to Taza before ordering and seeing how your order would be handled.

This stuff tastes awful, but we don't eat this for the taste, we eat this for the Popeye arms we get from eating it.

THE CHOCOLATE IS 5 STARS, but amazon has gone down hill so fast. This is not the only product deliver I am PO'd about.I have ordered these bars in the middle of a Phoenix summer and they have been perfectly fine. The chocolate is formed, shiny the break lines are clear. This last box I received were powdery, a brownish dusty look, no break lines. I knew these had been melted, but I was unsure of the powdery coating. I was so unsure if these were safe to eat, that I sent pictures to TAZA. Luckily they are safe to eat, even though it looks nothing like their bar. Oh, and the temp was 70 degrees. These had been melted in Amazon's warehouse and recooled. I will ONLY BUY THESE FROM TAZA from now on.

TAZA DELICIOUSLY DARK CHOCOLATE. I LOVE Green and Black's but it's not safe enough for me.So far, Taza is doing an adequate job. It's not G & B but it is SAFER and I am a chocolate Lover. The grit: I got use to it. The flavour: milder than G & B - . But over all, so that I'm not killing myself eating chocolate, it works. I'm sorry to learn about G &B chocolate because I really LOVED it and ate a lot of it. So much for that. GOOD LUCK in your CHOCOLATE SEARCH !!

Based on the reviews I expected a grainy bitter chocolate bar. But while maybe a touch grainier you really can’t tell the difference. And it’s delicious. I’ve had quite a few 90-95% chocolate bars and this is definitely my favorite of all time.

It gets great reviews for all the right reasons. So I'll give it a 4. But it tastes like you're chewing on a cigarette. It is the only dark chocolate that I struggle to put down and wish I didn't buy six bars. I can't do it. Lol.

I was so sad when my local Fresh Market stopped carrying this brand as it’s the only safe chocolate option for my body per my doctor in order to keep lead and cadmium levels down. So thankful that the bars I got today were SO fresh as I was worried about the quality changing sitting on a hot truck somewhere. Hope this continues!! Love this chocolate, but more importantly I’m so thankful for peace of mind in knowing I’m getting all the good benefits and none of the toxic stuff!!

Love the pure chocolate flavor! It is a bit grainy because it's stone ground. Love to eat with some nuts as a snack. I have tried it in a vegan chocolate mousse (chocolate + water) and the graininess is still evident in the mousse. I have not tried to bake with it.
