85% Cocoa Chocolate- Valrhona VS Lindt's

85% Cocoa Battle between Valrhona's Le Noir and Lindt's 85% Cocoa Dark Chocolate Excellence

I love sweet but also love dark chocolate with bitterness and high content cocoa.

Two days ago, I did my grocery at Trader Joe's and found Valrhona, the fine chocolate imported from France. There is only a few manufacturer produced any chocolate over 85% cocoa so when I see Le Noir, I just grabbed the bar to the cashier without thinking.

It costs $2.99, about the same price as Lindt's Dark Chocolate 85% Cocoa (before on sale). However, the weight of Valrhona is heavier because of its thickness. Although the cocoa content was high but the calories should still be aware of. 250 calories per chunk and there are 2.5 servings in one bar.



Well well... Lindt VS Valrhona
Overall, I like Lindt's Dark Chocolate Excellence more, in term of the cocoa intensity and bitterness. However, Valrhona's Le Noir is more fulfilling because of the size of each chuck, and I sorta think that it's more buttery too.

Anyway.. I'm not a food blog pro but it's a good start here.
