Interesting flavor profile on this one!

Easy Eating 75% Bar

While this bar is a 75% it's surprisingly sweet which would be a great option for someone who wants to begin exploring higher % bars. I get lots of vanilla in the nose and taste (even though there is none added) along with cocoa, mild earthy and light coffee notes. Tasty!

Smooth, Almost Coconut flavor

We absolutely loved the flavor of this chocolate. It didn't have any bitter notes, but rather tasted like it had hints of coconut or butter. The texture was also very smooth. A nice chocolate overall

Interesting

This bar has an interesting flavor profile. It's fruity and bitter with notes of molasses and citrus and a hint of cool menthol. The package tasting notes mention cooked apple and dates, but I honestly got more of a citrus fruitiness. The cocoa is coarsely ground, so it's a touch gritty. As the Katixo bars go, I preferred the Tanzania bar.
