I love family, especially family that buys me chocolate from around the world. My dear cousin and fellow food enthusiast Chloe sent me a few chocolate bars from her most recent trip to Europe. Four of the bars were from a chocolate company I had never heard of, Rausch. Each came as a 40 gram stick that was about 7-8 inches long, maybe 3/4 of an inch wide, and about 1/2 an inch tall. The sticks were segmented into 6 pieces and wrapped in colorful plastic.
The lowest cocoa content bar, the Amacado from Peru, had a very simple chocolate odor. The chocolate was thicker than most bars I have tried and was therefore more difficult to snap in half to get a sense of the texture. The piece broke cleanly as did all the other bars from Rausch.
The flavor of the bar was simple chocolate. There was a moment of orange but it was immediately covered by the general taste of chocolate. While the bar was not outstanding, it was a very good, easy chocolate to eat. There were no off flavors, no hint of anything artificial, and the melt was rich and thick. The lower cocoa content made this bar more candy than chocolate.
