Takes a little getting use to because it has less sugar than like milk chocolate, but it is more healthy for you. Once you get use to it you will love the rich, chocolatety, silky flavor. Give it a try. Buy one bar at Walgreen's and if by the bottom of that bar you are hooked, I will be surprized. I am a sugarholic but I LOVE this kind of low sugar chocolate. It is Heaven! It's also great for dieting. You only need a bit to get satisfied. The one you buy at Walgreen's be sure to eat the whole thing. I put mine in the fridge and would break off small pieces. The more you eat of it the more you will love it, I swear. You will order the big box in no time.

I'm a bit obsessed with dark chocolate and I've tried just about everything. Is Lindt the only amazing chocolate? Nope. If price were absolutely irrelevant would I eat some other chocolates occasionally? Maybe - Michel Cluizel is nice, Debauve et Gallais makes some nice bars, Dolfin does an enjoyable 88%. But for the price, I've yet to find a chocolate close to Lindt. Most of those bars are 2x-4x the price of Lindt and much harder to find.

I tend to like about 85% the most - it's creeped up over the years. I started around 55%, then moved up to 65%-70%. Then a jump to 75%, and in the last several years 85%. I think your palate develops, and the higher percentages are healthier anyways.

This Lindt bar is pretty consistent (not perfect - it's still a natural product). I buy them on a Subscribe basis (yep, obsessed). It's incredibly smooth (smaller producers can't grind chocolate as smooth as the big producers). Still plenty sweet for an 85%, melts nicely, never oxidized. Sometimes I'll switch over for awhile to similarly priced Green & Black or Valrhona, but somehow I always come back to Lindt.

In the end, if I could give it six stars, I'd do it.

Did you know that cacao (real chocolate) contains probably the strongest antioxidants of all foods? Indeed. A man in AZ who eats chocolate daily is 115; a Mexican woman is 125 and the French woman who famously lived to 122 was a daily eater of chocoalte. The key is to have low sugar, and a high percentage of cacao---70% or higher. I have found that anything higher than 85% (like this one) is too bitter. Just a tiny bit of sugar goes a long way with cacao. The reason is especially like this brand is that the Europeans tend to have less mold in the way they process chocolate.

In addition, chocolate is high in arginine, making it an aphrodisiac. It is also high in phenylethylamine which enhances romantic feelings. It causes the brain to release endorphins, making us feel a slight high. No wonder it is a regular present on special occasions like Valentine's Day.

This is my favorite brand of chocolate in terms of balancing flavor with affordability. I adhere to a low-carb diet and this chocolate is one of my favorite indulgences. The chocolate is better quality than Lindt's 90% dark chocolate, which is processed with alkali. I have used this chocolate as a stand-alone snack, but I have also used it in many recipes, including low-carb peanut butter clusters and chocolate-covered strawberries. It is a smooth chocolate that also melts well. It has a nice consistency and is the chocolate I keep coming back to.

This is the 2nd time I bought this product. The first time is 5 star. The 12-pack comes in a delicate Lindt package. I bought that in Feb 2017. The expiration date is feb 2018. Pretty fresh product

This time the 12-pack is wrapped in a plastic bag.. I opened one bar. The color is light brown on the side. We decide to return it. We bought it mid April 2017 and the expiration date is June 2017!!! Sell a product that's expiring this soon?!
