Taza Chocolate Organic Mexicano Disc 50% Dark Chocolate, Cinnamon, 2.7 Ounce (1 Count), Vegan

true Mexican sugar aka panela is unbleached and retains all of the nutrients naturally occurring in sugar cane including iron and blood sugar stabilizing chromium. first discovered how delicious Mexican sugar was when saved my pennies from allowance to buy one of those packets on the end caps where you can get genuine Mexican herbs and spices (and the ONLY place i have ever seen mexican ground oregano which definitely tastes different than Mediterranean oregano and uniquely compliments the flavor components, if you have not tried, you are missing out, seriously) and to my thinking was the best way to optimize my pennies by maximizing the amount of sugar i could get from my allowance. i was unprepared for how good it would be. i was used to the plain sweet that came in the blue and pink boxes and not the caramel like flavor of the lumps of dehydrated cane juice; what a wonderful surprise :) that is the organic sugar that goes in mexican-style chocolate. then of course the cacao and of course the vanilla beans which grow wild in Mexico. best vanilla i EVER had came from an open market in Mexico in a recycled tequila bottle. the orchids that produce the vanilla bean pods are indigenous to Mexico and a few other places in the southern hemisphere of the americas. in fact, oaxaca is still home to wild vanilla orchids. these three simple but complex flavors make this delicious chocolate. the flavors unfold individually before they meld completely on the palate. it is a unique experience in chocolate.

This added a nice flavor dimension to my chicken mole and to my oatmeal. The chili taste was very mild, almost imperceptible. The grittiness you can taste when just eating the chocolate goes away when using it for cooking. Highly recommend.

If you like Mexican chocolate with chili -- this is for you. Taza Chocolate does it right. It makes great hot cocoa with a kick.

This is the best chocolate I've ever tasted. And I love chocolate. My benchmark up to this point was Scharfenberger Nibby dark chocolate (also available on Amazon). I've probably tasted hundreds chocolates in my life, from the $10/oz single origin handcrafted artisan organic fair trade hand-written message from the cocoa farmer fancy-pants bars, all the way over to Hershey's Special Dark. The stone ground texture is divine, just the right amount of grit to titillate your teeth as you bite into it. The flavor is nuanced, complex, and totally unique. It may well have been dreamed up by a Wonka descendant, as this chocolate tastes like an everlasting gobstopper. The finish is easily 30 seconds long. It's spicy, as you'd expect from chili chocolate, but not unpleasantly so. I even like the format; two discs with pie-esque indentations encourage you to break it into little wedges of perfection. A piece or two may even make it out of the kitchen to share before you devour the whole stack. After I ate this, I immediately went to Taza's site and ordered a 12 pack case of them, along with one of every other flavor Taza makes.

Had to try it, probably a good chocolate for baking. It is very sugary in texture, and the cinnamon is mild.

I found it too sweet for my taste.

Made some Mexican Chocolate ice cream with this. Will make again if the price comes back down.

I love these. I would subscribe, but I can't. It's like a drug addiction. Great price, until you are addicted. Price doubled from $3 to $6 over the last purchase. They were comparable with other dark chocolate bars for 3oz, but now "nope" .
