Just looking for personal recommendations, as I really don't know what
I should be looking for, in terms of specifics.

My favorites:

Valrhona (priciest), France
Callebaut, Belgium
El Rey, Venezuela

I personally hate hate hate Scharffen Berger as mentioned downthread -- it
has odd fruity notes that are just "off" to me. Some love it, though.


I agree with the comments concerning Scharffen Berger. I have no problem
paying for quality ingredients but there is something strange about the
flavor.
