Tesco Finest Swiss 72% Plain

Tesco72PlainMy tuppence worth …

Smell: mellow honey-like chocolatey smell, fresh straw, but no bitterness or hint of its 72% strength.

Look: very similar to Lindt 70% in color, appearance and packaging.

Snap: blunt firm

Taste: sweet, fruity and mellow tasting chocolate, not as ‘intense’ as promised. The taste disappears quickly to leave me reaching for another square rather than savouring the length.

Texture: light silky but not as creamy as Lindt, reminds me of LowLow spread as opposed to real butter.

Would I buy it again: No
