Montezuma's Absolute Black

This is 100% Pure Chocolate and definitely an acquired taste. It is quite a bitter taste, so if you’re wanting to wean yourself onto better quality, purer Chocolate such as this with high Cocoa Solids, then try starting with the lower percentages first such as 60%, 70%. You might not appreciate the taste if you were used to consuming Milk Chocolate. You don’t need very much as it is very rich and filling. I eat a small piece every day to fit in with my Diabetic Diet and to ward off a Family History of Dementia…!!

100% cocoa. No sugar. Great choice if you love chocolate but want to cut down on sugar. You can still enjoy chocolate. Though it has a bitter taste and doesn't taste any sweet not like sugary ones. Love it!

Good product. Small bars and expensive. V bitter but that is expected from a pure dark choc. Bought for health properties to grate on food. Excellent service.

I am used to dark chocolate all the way up to 85% cocoa and, with my latest obsession with having the hint of orange in it, I saw these and figured I could give it a try. From the first bite, instant regret. They are bitter and the little chunks inside are dry and grate on your teeth and top of your mouth. Yes, they have the subtle hint of orange I wanted... but they lack a sense of proper dark chocolate. Maybe these are okay for baking? But do not eat them raw unless you want that bitter taste.

This was my first ever attempt at eating 100% dark chocolate. I don't really like orange in chocolate but I was worried that the chocolate on its own would be really bitter and overpowering without the addition of orange oil. For me personally, the combination of the cocoa nibs and orange oil just wasn't that nice. I still ate the whole bar, I decided to eat one square a day. I later tried the absolute black (just cocoa solids without nibs or oil) and that's somehow much creamier and nicer than this one. Despite this somwhat negative review, it was a really cool experiment and I do think it's worth trying for the experience. I've always had brittle nails and an odd side effect of eating one square of chocolate a day has been that my nails are suddenly rock solid. I did some research and it seems like it's most likely the magnesium in my case. Here are my key points: - Creamer than I expected - Not as bitter as some other reviewes suggested - Not sure the cocoa nibs add anything positive into this. - I don't like chocolate oranges to begin with, so I was never the target audience for this. - Has improved my nail health significantly - Does help with sweet cravings

I normally buy the Absolute Black (but I do cheat and often eat it with the Cherry) I was hoping that the orange pieces would stand out a bit more in taste and make a switch to this one, but they didn't. So...

​As a long-time fan of seriously dark chocolate, I was intrigued by this "Absolute Black" 100% cocoa bar. Let me tell you, it does not disappoint. The intense, deep cocoa flavor is beautifully balanced by the zesty hint of orange, and the crunchy cocoa nibs provide a fantastic texture that keeps things interesting. This isn't your average, sugary candy bar; it's a bold, flavorful experience. ​My one minor complaint? This bar has a serious vanishing problem. The moment I set it down, it seems to have disappeared into thin air. I'm not saying it's the most addictive chocolate on the planet, but let's just say I was practically nibbling at the bit to open the next one. A truly remarkable feat of chocolatey goodness.

I like the texture. I like the bitter taste. I like the light orange flavour. Anyway, this chocolate it's not for everyone.

This is great chocolate. We try to take a piece a day as the cocoa is good for joints or overall health. Of course, this is PURE which means there is no sugar. So... It is bitter... But worth it. The only thing to note is that it was a little melted when it arrived. Not bad just a little mushy.

Rich flavors, pure cacao, zero sugar, healthy and fabulous!

I bought this because I thought with the orange that it would be yummy . . . NOPE!! Only the vaguest hint of orange! Not nearly enough to offset the flat bitter taste. I will never buy it again. Maybe I can grate a little to decorate a frosted cake, otherwise it's a dud.

Very very dark hard to manage in my mouth. I don’t believe there’s any sugar content at all. It melts but it’s very very bitter.

It is what you would expect of a good dark chocolate. The orange flavor is subtle. The nibs are definitely there. Keep in mind. This is a dark chocolate not a sweet chocolate. I would definitely buy this again.
