I don't typically write long, detailed reviews on Amazon, but I feel that the high quality of this product makes it truly worthy of it! These chocolate discs are truly an experience to behold! A really unique and special kind of dark chocolate bar, something you don't normally see in stores! Made by an small indie company out in Somerville, Massachusetts, this product is truly worth the price based upon the quality and concept alone! The discs themselves come stacked in a small, compact box that lists all the ingredients used as well as all other relevant info. Using finely ground cocoa beans (Ancient Aztec word "Cacahuatl") native to Mesoamerica, this company attempts to be as faithful to the taste and flavor of true authentic Mexicano-style chocolate (from the Nahuatl word "Xocolātl") using organic, non-GMO, gluten-free ingredients from certified Direct-Trade cacao beans grown in Mexico! The discs themselves in the sampler are not that big - about roughly the size of a hockey puck - and can fit in the palm of your hand. They are individually wrapped in waxed paper with some beautiful designs, each which lists the ingredients used for the disc and the flavor. There are 8 separate flavors listed in the sampler: Super Dark, Cinnamon, Coffee, Vanilla, Salted Almond, Guajillo Chili, Cacao Puro, and Chipotle Chili. The discs themselves may be small, but the powerful and impactful taste of each really exceeds the amount! The cacao powder used to make it is stone ground - on a hand carved granite millstone as it says on the box - so finely you can actually taste the coarse, grainy, crumbly cacao powder as you bite into it, with the texture and consistency of sand, which melts away in your mouth as you chew! I was surprised how granulated it was; it felt like I was chewing on powder or sawdust sweetened with sugar and spices! It wasn't at all like your average candy bar or chocolate sweet; it was a lot less uniform in solidity, and not as soft as milk chocolate. But, still, the flavor, by golly! It truly was an experience to behold! My mouth was filled with this unique sensation experiencing artisanly-crafted chocolate made with techniques used by Ancient civilizations millennia ago! I was really impressed by the uniqueness of flavor, it was unlike any other chocolate bar I've had! I cannot quite accurately describe it in as many words, it's just something you will have to taste for yourself! Truly special! Glad I chose to make this purchase, happy I could enjoy the experience firsthand!

Love the texture of this chocolate. Excelelnt

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.
