Title: Willie's Delectable Cacao Venezuelan 72
Post by: drterror666 on March 13, 2010, 03:11:18 pm

I had no idea this was on sale.  Anyway, it is about 80g and comprises of two large, square chocolates, Venezuelan of course, as this is Willie's favourite.  It was quite fragrant on opening, with a fruity cacao smell.  Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed when tasting it as I could tell the cocoa butter to sugar ratio is too far on the side of the sugar, making it sweeter then I would like. The texture is nice and buttery though (who needs vegetable oil?) and it melts in the mouth.  I don't think I'd invest in it again.

So, Hotel Chocolat Rabot Estate 72% Dark is still my favourite, even though it's slightly more expensive.

Which Venezuelan was it?, there's a Trincheras version that I found much better. http://www.chocolatereview.co.uk/manufacturer.asp?name=Willies%20World%20Class%20Cacao (http://www.chocolatereview.co.uk/manufacturer.asp?name=Willies%20World%20Class%20Cacao)

I had the Rio Caribe Superior.  Is the Hacienda Las Trincheras less sugary then?

Can't remember the exact different of taste, but I do remember thinking it was slightly better. Sorry I clearly eat too much choc to remember anything :P
