Lindt 99% Cocoa Dark Noir Absolut Chocolate - 50 Grams

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.

Product was good but there was a problem in packaging first time ice bag was puncher second time chocolate was melted 😛

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

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.

Processed with alkali removes 60-90% of all the health benefits associated with dark chocolate . Lindt 85% doesn't use Dutch processing and is a better buy if you want the health benefits associated with dark chocolate . If it's only the flavour of pure dark cocoa you're looking for, then this is for you.Packaging was mediocre. I don't expect an ice pack for a single bar of chocolate but I expect something more than a clumsily wrapped bubble sheet over the chocolate and thrown into a cardboard box 10 bigger than the chocolate bar

Heard a lot of hype about this chocolate and bought two bars online from Amazon.in. Beautifully wrapped and exquisite to look at but not what I expected. It is very bitter and not at all sweet. Still attempting to develop a taste for it. Also wondering about the hype. Just eating one bit every day, maybe I will turn a connoisseur or give it up completely, or maybe I will try the lower concentrations to see which one suits me..no ! I am not giving up chocolate.

This chocolate is really bitter, which shouldn't be surprising as it's 99 cocoa. If you like to enjoy little bites then this is a good option. With this one chocolate getting stolen is not going to be a problem because of its bitterness. Texture is smooth. Flavour is great. Overall a good option if you always enjoy your coffee without sugar.

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