Sweet and mildly dark organic chocolate, March 11, 2011

This review is from: Newman's Own Organics Dark Chocolate Bar, 3.25-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12) (Grocery)

Newman's Own Organics Dark Chocolate Bar is much more like milk chocolate than dark chocolate, rather sweet and somewhat milky for a dark chocolate, though it contains no milk. In fact, "organic evaporated cane juice", better known simply as sugar, is listed as the primary ingredient by weight.

There are no unusual or notable flavors detectable other than chocolate and a hint of vanilla but the ingredients taste fresh. The tablet is not too thick nor is it too thin.

Overall, a good but not notable and rather nondescript 54% cocoa bar for people who enjoy a higher cocoa content than milk chocolate but who don't like the taste of 70%+ dark chocolate.

Good Chocolate, But a Bit Pricy, February 26, 2011

Ever since I saw on TV how much work the cocoa farmers have to do to get their product into the sack and to market I have tried to purchase chocolate that treats the farmers more fairly. Rainforest Alliance Certified Cocoa used in Newman's Own Organics products meets this requirement.

As for this product, 54% cocoa is a nice step up for people who normally do not like dark chocolate. While it may be a bit tame for those who like really dark chocolate, I thought it was quite good. It has a nice smooth texture that didn't have the waxy feel of standard store-bought chocolate. It melted smoothly without any off flavors or nasty aftertaste.

So what's not to like? The price is a bit steep even for premium chocolate. Given a choice, I will stick to Divine (certified Fair Trade) for the few times I give into the chocolate urge.
