Green & Black's Organic

Taste

Green and Black's is one of the first organic chocolates on the market. It's really expensive in Australia but you can buy it at supermarkets in the UK (not that it's any less expensive). While we were there we tried the Dark 70% and the Raisin & Hazelnut. This time we tried the Maya Gold, their original bittersweet dark chocolate with orange and spices. This one has 55% cocoa content.

I have to say though, I am only impressed with this one, the orange spice really draws out the cocoa taste. It's not too sweet with a smoother texture than the other 2. The others taste pretty ordinary and is not worth the price.

Recently I got the chance to try the Bittersweet dark chocolate with hazelnuts & currants, which I declare to be better than the normal rasin and hazelnut. Still, I won't be rushing out to get this anytime.

Rating - Maya Gold - 7, Dark - 5.5, Raisin - 6 , Bittersweet Raisins - 6.5

Look

The packaging is very sexy, all dark brown. On the inside of the package is printed Green and Black's philosophy. A little bit different and a little bit special.

C-factor

It was exy for a supermarket chocolate but on par with other organic chocolates. In Aust you can find them at most organic food stores and DJs, for around $5-6 each.
