CHOCOLATE AMATLLER - Perfectly portioned bars of deliciousness!

After having visited Barcelona, I know that art is a huge part of the every day life in that city. So when I saw the beautiful illustrations displayed on the packaging and website of the Chocolate AMATLLER brand, from Barcelona, I was not surprised.

The two 'single origin' chocolate bars that I tasted were: a 70% Cacao made from Ghana cocoa beans and an 85% dark chocolate made from beans of Ecuador. Both were very smooth (AMATLLER focuses on using the best technologies and techniques to produce fine chocolate) and had a fantastic melt-in-your mouth quality. And at 18 grams (0.63 oz), I found the chocolate bars to be perfectly portioned. What`s more, neither product included soy lecithin or any additives other than cocoa mass and sugar.

The 85% Cacao Ecuador bar is made of Forastero beans (Ecuadorian Arriba), but a fine flavour quality. I felt there was a strong vanilla flavour to it (although there is no vanilla in the chocolate) and I found it to be rich and absolutely delicious, with a bright flavour and no heavy acidity or bitterness.

The 70% Cacao Ghana chocolate bar was fruitier than the 85% Ecuador bar.  I liked it a lot, but I preferred the 85% bar (which is strange because I usually prefer a 70% chocolate over an 85%).

Chocolate AMATLLER also makes a white and milk chocolate, other origin bars, and also other types of chocolates in beautiful tins and packaging. Learn more here.

I purchased these two chocolate bars at McEwan's in Toronto.

  2. Hey, I was looking for something new to pass time in the evening and ended up hearing about chickenpirate from a friend. The start wasn’t great and I lost a few rounds in a row, but I didn’t stop and decided to take a bigger risk, which finally brought a solid win. That turnaround made everything feel more rewarding, and I’d definitely recommend giving it a go if you like fast and simple gameplay.

  3. Final year dissertations require a completely different level of academic depth compared to standard essays, so getting professional feedback is always a sensible move. While browsing through a few student forums, I noticed that Assignment In Need dissertation guidance platform comes highly recommended for breaking down complex research methodologies into simpler steps. It makes structuring your thesis so much easier. For those working on their final undergraduate projects, visiting Assignment In Need, a dissertation guidance platform, could provide some much-needed clarity.
