According to my notes:

100% Unroasted Cacao, by Raaka
Some excerpts:
“Like sucking on a sour almond.”
“Very nutty aftertaste.”
“Interesting, if gross.”

That’s it.

I’ve had some middling ≈85% cacao bars. The Taza 85% disc, Theo 85% Pure Dark, and jcoco’s Peruvian Signature Dark are the standouts of the ones I’ve tried.
And some low 90% bars that I didn’t like very much.

But the Raaka bar is the only actual 100% bar I’ve had, and Raaka is a pretty unique beast because they don’t roast their chocolate. That was fairly early on in my chocolate documenting as well; Raaka is the third brand in my book, and the 100% bar is the first entry. I think I need to expand that out a bit.
I think anything less than 4 out of 5 is a failure. Chocolate exists to enjoy.

It's also why most chocolate is sweet. Most people like sweet.
