Montezuma's Absolute Black, 100% Cocoa, Dark Chocolate With Almonds, Gluten Free & Naturally Vegan, 90g Bar (Pack of 2)

High cocoa content chocolate i.e. over 85% is thought to have many proposed health benefits. It is said to improve a person's mood and to optimise the gut biome. I don't know for a fact if this is medically true or not, but I thought it was worth giving it a try as I'm a chocoholic who recently suffered a couple of mini-strokes! The taste is somewhat bitter when you first upgrade from eating the regular dark chocolates you can buy in the shops. However, if you persevere and eat just a couple of squares each day, you will soon become accustomed to its unique, strong flavour. Having no added sugar, it is unlikely to spike your blood-sugar levels or interfere with your insulin levels - a great bonus if you are diabetic or pre-diabetic. My first batch of Montezuma chocolate was simply the original, plain, dark variety. However, I have invested in some different flavours this time around including the almond and orange varieties. So far I have enjoyed every one of them! As I said earlier, it is better to have just a couple of small squares at a time to satisfy your chocolate craving. If you have substantially more you may find you get bad headaches and even constipation. The chocolate is rather expensive, but I think the potential health benefits outweigh the cost. I, for one, will not be reverting to the mass produced, sugar-laden bars of chocolate any day soon.

I tried this more as a health experiment but found that I actually love the taste. It won't be for everyone, but if you love the pure taste of chocolate, give it a go. I've bought almost all of this companies chocolate (mainly for my daughter, but I've tasted them too) and have found them all delicious and excellent quality. I also love the environmentally friendly packaging. Can't recommend them highly enough, a definite five stars!

Best deal for this anywhere lovely smooth taste amazing once you have made the conversion from the false sugar ridden cocoa

Very deep dark chocolate but tastes very good. If you like dark chocolate you will like this.

Tried it out of pure curiosity - was in good condition but damn is this chocolate bitter, which is to be expected but as a fan of dark chocolate I thought I'd be able to hack it better, alas I cannot - they ain't lying when they say 100%, maybe in a dish it would be nicer but eating it as is, is very strong.
