Dark Chocolate

Skitbra

Anyone know where you can get dark chocolate with cocoa content of 70% upwards?

I like Green & Black organic dark chocolate. Available in most health food shops.

there is a fantastic selection of yummy chocolate up to 70% in lidl and it's nice and cheap. I think there may even be an 85% one.

I can second that, green & black is amazingly good, especially the orange one yum!

I've seen Vahlrona chocolate at the market in Temple House Square, haven't tried it though. The Lidl stuff is nice but doesn't quite do it for me, I usually buy any of the fair trade brands from Oxfam.

What's so special about 70% cocoa choccy? Is it extra chocloattey? And is that how you spell chocolattey?

G&B really is the king. The nutty one, the orangey one, etc. So good. Bitter as well.


I used to eat Bourneville yrs ago. Once you switch tho, you won't go back. I tried it recently, tasted like it was half sugar. Couldn't eat it. G&B make great dark Hot Choc too.

Green and Blacks is the most amazing stuff on the planet. Valhrona is fab too, but rather expensive if you're planning on using a lot of it in cooking/baking. They don't rely so much on massive sugar content either, so work perfectly for baking, melting, or just plain stuffing your face

There's a place off Paul St in Cork that does 99% chocolate as well. I've used some of that combined with some 80% to make the best brownies on the face of the planet. Ignore their cabinet of truffles though - they tend to taste stale and musty as are left out in the air too damn long.

Another vote for Lidl. Like the 60% stuff for a choc-fest, and the 70% stuff if I'm going to be a bit more dignified and just have a few squares.
