Gilles mailed me two bars of chocolate; Lindt Chili, and Migros Selection 100% Venezuelan Chocolate.
The former is clearly Lindt product; smooth, ungritty, and the Chili manifests as a low, slow, dark burn on the tongue, persisting well after the chocolate is melted and gone. It’s most unusual, and worth it for the taste experience.
The Migros is bizzare and wonderful; at most I’ve had 85% Lindt and 88% Dolfin before, the former I found gritty and bitter, the latter pleasant but rather dry and dessicating in the mouth.
Migros 100% Venezuelan is smooth, ungritty, and melts in the mouth from a brittle hardness to a smooth, velvety chocolate mass; but it’s the taste which astounds, a rich, round, brown taste, like brandy stripped of its alcohol, or the smell of old oak panelling.
It’s marvellous stuff, and highly recommendable for what is, it appears, a Swiss Supermarket own-brand.
