We recently purchased seven unsweetened chocolate bars for comparison. The goal was to find an unsweetened chocolate that was so good (to snack on) that it didn't need sugar. It does exist: Pralus French 100% Cocoa: Criollo Chocolate. The Schaffen Berger Unsweetened 99% Cacao Baking Chocolate Bar came in last. Our rankings (which of course reflect out personal tastes) from love to freecycle: 1. Pralus French 100% Cocoa: Criollo Chocolate; 2. Vintage Plantations 100% Cacao Arriba Bar; 3. Michel Cluizel French Chocolate - "Chocolat Noir Infini" 99% Cocoa Dark Chocolate (has more ingredients added); 4. Sunspire 100% Chocolate Bar; and it was difficult to rank the last three as we did not care for them at all - 5. Ghirardeli 100% unsweeteed Chocolate Bar; 6. Callebaut Unsweetened Liquor Chunks Cocoa; 7. Schaffen Berger Unsweetened 99% Cacao Baking Chocolate Bar.

I'm a huge chocolate fan, and I've eaten lots of different brands, ranging from the lower-end Lindt and Ghirardelli to the higher-end Valrhona and Neuhaus. I was frankly disappointed by the taste of this bar, which ended up being extremely dull for a very high cacao content bar. Even Ghirardelli's 100% cacao baking bar had a more exciting fruity flavor. The only redeeming quality of this bar is that it melts extremely smoothly and makes a really thick melting chocolate, which is good for those bakers and candy-makers out there. Not really great for tasting alone.

Great item and service!

nice to eat with raisins
I bought this 99% chocolate bar to eat as snacks. The taste is a little too bitter for me. So I add raisins and it taste great!

Mild pleasant taste and healthy
I eat 99% chocolate and while I am no expert on which bakes the best as far as straight out eating - it may be the only 99% chocolate that you can just pick up and eat.
