Hi,

does anyone know about chocolate with about 89 to 95 percent cocao in
it? In Germany one usually gets 85% chocolate, and then again 99%
chocolate, the first one being to sweet, the latter one too bitter for
my taste. Has anybody seen something in between?

Thanks, Henning

I'm looking at the remains of a bar:

Plantations
Arriba Chocolate
Premium Varietal Chocolate from Ecuador
90%

Maybe that is enough information for you to search it out. I don't
think I would recommend it, but it is 90% and it certainly isn't bad.

I would definitely NOT recommend Vintage Plantations' 90% which is, sadly,
a very poor chocolate indeed. Fortunately, there is a superb chocolate
which also happens to be Ecuador Arriba at the same percentage - Slitti
Super Novanta Tropicale 90%. Awesome and simply the best 90% chocolate on
the market. It should be able to be found with a reasonable search.
