We held our second weekly chocolate tasting today, with much better attendance. Whereas last week, when we were doing 70% chocolates and most people preferred a “reference” 85% chocolate, this week was 85% chocolates and a plurality preferred a “reference” 71% chocolate. Oops. This week’s unintentional winner was Vivani Dark Chocolate (71%), but restricting consideration to just the on-theme products, Alter Eco Dark Blackout (a single-origin chocolate made from Ecuadoran beans) and Vivani Dark Chocolate (both 85%) tied. Full results are on the CSAIL Tasters wiki.
