Obviously simple

(This is entry 91 of 100DaysToOffload, and my second post today about chocolate)

I've had probably too much of the Tony's Chocolate today. Well, it feels that way, I've had about four chunks, when it's meant to last me a month.

The taste of the chocolate called "dark almond sea salt 51%", is a chocolate that tastes quite dark/strong, and then, as the flavour washes away, leaves you with a superb salt flavour at the end. It also has some almonds in it.

I really appreciate how obvious it is as a chocolate. Some of the old Moser Roth's just taste sort of "unclear", as if they have the flavour but you don't know how the flavours get there. With this chocolate, you get something far more simple. A taste of chocolate, then a taste of salt. Some bits of almond mixed in. It's obvious how it works, it's obvious what it's made of. It's not too heavily mixed, but feels like its manufactured in a more human, less industrial way, I suppose. It feels like something a local chocolateer, or even a neighbour or grandmother, could make; not something that's come off of a conveyer belt.

It's really good chocolate!
