Taza Chocolate Organic Mexicano Disc Stone Ground, Oaxacan Variety Pack, 1.35 Ounce (4 Count), Vegan

"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.

Although it's more expensive than the "big" brands, these guys haven't been poisoning their customers with lead... unlike those "big" guys. They also do their best to avoid enslavement of people for financial gain. Again, unlike some other larger companies. Best of all, they have high quality chocolate! It's so yummy, you can truly taste the vanilla, which is something I never thought of while eating cheap chocolate we use for s'mores!! None of that vomit taste you get from the PA company!! Just pure good good, all day. Errrry day!!

Best chocolate. Tinge of sweetness

This chocolate tastes really good. I love the stone ground texture. It definitely has a quality taste to it, but the flavors are all pretty faint and don't come through as strong as I would have liked. The biggest complaint I have with this chocolate is the price. I paid $23 for this 8 pack sampler as a gift for my wife. After trying the chocolate and seeing the size of each disc, I would never pay this price again. As I write this review I see the chocolate is on a sale for $16.10 now. $2 a disc might be a more reasonable price if you want to try something special and unique. That being said, the chocolate is organic, doesn't contain toxic ingredients like dyes or artificial flavoring, etc. Quality chocolate can be hard to find, and I appreciate that Taza isn't using harmful ingredients.

This sampler is dangerously good. I bought it to try something different and now I’m low-key obsessed. Every flavor is unique and satisfying, but the chili one? That’s my ride-or-die. Just the right balance of heat and dark chocolate richness. I’ve only eaten it by snapping off pieces so far, but now I’m dreaming of melting it into a spicy hot cocoa situation. The texture is gritty in the best way—stone ground and full of character. It’s not your average chocolate bar, and that’s exactly what I love about it. Highly recommend if you like bold flavors, real ingredients, and chocolate that doesn’t play by the rules.

If you are looking for normal chocolates, I would avoid these. Found them via NYT Wirecutter, so I bought a bit blindly. Turns out these have a very chalky texture and meh flavor. Seems like that is the style of these, but it’s honestly not the same thing as a typical chocolate bar at all. Maybe some people appreciate them, but they weren’t for me and I felt I should give future buyers a heads up. We had to throw our variety pack away.

Love love love love love love love this chocolate, oh, my goodness, the crunch, the taste, everything is in perfect balance. Yes, I bought the whole package for myself only. Yes, it is kind of expensive, but it worth it.

Tried this first in US and was blown away! Delicious and intense and with a fabulous grainy texture Looks like a real luxury and tastes the same Surprised and thrilled to be able to get it in UK A real find!

Taza is, in my opinion, the peak of traditional stone ground chocolate. The flavours are not overly pronounced, even with the varieties presented, instead leaning in a more subdued approach. What remains is a chocolate enhanced and enriched. While the texture might not be to everyone's palate, it is a texture that speaks to this product's purity and authenticity. The cocoa speaks louder than any milk additive, forsaking an overly produced mouthfeel for one that harkens back to simpler times and natural processes.

Really good. A great experience of flavor and texture.

I enjoyed these but rather expencsive.

Extremely sweet to the point of making your teeth grit.
