Lindt 99% Cocoa Dark Noir Absolut Chocolate - 50 Grams

The chocolate lives up to the expectations. Wonderful flavor if you love dark chocolate. You could feel the warmth of melting dark chocolate on your tongue.. The original packaging of chocolate was great but amazon packaging and handling made it bad, the chocolate was bent and cover was damaged.

There is no issue with the product, but it is a little too bitter for my taste. Didn't realise it before purchasing.

From health point of view this is about the best (exceeded by 100% compressed Cocoa which I have tasted in a store but this comes very close.) One should go for maximum cocoa content. Eating 70%, 85% etc are fine and better than most Hershey?) chocolates available in India which have mostly sugar which caused cavities, obesity, heart problems etc. which is prevalent amaong Indias, but one should aim for maximum bitterness possible. Even 70% contains 30% sugar and can hardly be called healthful. If you are eating for fun then it is entirely different story but once one gets used to 99% this can be fun too. The trick for most is to graduate to this slowly, maybe starting with 50% and then moving upto 99% if possible. Internet provides some rumor (unsubstantiated) that most Lindt chocolates are dutch-process except for 85% one. In one response company stated that if it is dutch-processed it will be clearly mentioned on the label. There is no mention of it or the work 'alkali' which leads one to that this is not dutch processed. Does the 85% mention that it is NOT dutch processed or is special? I will request others not to go by rumors and select 85% over 99% one because of its apparent health benefit when in actuality the reverse might be true. Given all the evidence I think 99% one is the healthiest and 85% is not very healthy because of 15% sugar in it. Of course you might like it more because of sugar and opt for it over 99% one but that is a totally different story.

Best bitter chocolate available in India. 2nd Best is 100% Cacao from the same brand. Get 99% if you like a more mellow, smooth flavor. Get 100% for strong bitter flavor. Please purchase it from Quality Desk seller only. All the others are not maintaining the product properly. They all are selling stale, rotten chocolates not maintained properly, which will make you very ill. The difference in quality (No pun intended) between "Quality Desk" & other sellers is night & day. I highly request the Amazon officials to take necessary action against all the other sellers for selling such foul, unhygienic product

The product is good but one should be able to bear the bitterness of the chocolate

I've ordered Lindt chocolates multiple times from amazon and they always came with ice packs, however this came without one and in a plastic cover so it was completely melted. After solidifying it again, it tastes awesome! A bit bitter but leaves that rich cocoa taste. The inner packaging is not a foil, but a plastic box. EDIT: My recent most order in August,2020, packaging was perfect. Seller put effort in assuring the icepacks were well packed so the chocolate didn't melt at all.

Waste of mny... N product is not perfect... Got half piece.... If it comes like this... How can we trust this amazon....

It has a mould with the package and its very premium and very tasty and dark and smooth Its better quality but its price is high
