Soma Chocolatier Review: Old School Chocolate

This was one of the most interesting chocolates I have come by recently. It is an old school chocolate bar from soma chocolatier. This was relatively expensive, coming in at a 90g bar for $9. But it was refreshingly good.

The taste was like dark chocolateexcept with an additional earthiness from the cocao nibs used. It was a complex flavour with a very earthy bitter taste followed with bursts of sugariness when you bit into one of the cane sugar crystals. The taste was spot on without being oversweet or being too bitter.

The texture is, in my opinion, where it shines. It was like a crunchy cookie instead of the usual gooey mouth sticking mess that comes with a chocolate bar. This mainly comes from the lack of use of milk or dairy products to smooth out the texture.

Abeit the cost, the unique earthy taste of cocao nibs with a refreshing crunchy texture made this a worthy guilty pleasure. 8/10 :)
