There was no information card included in this month's box.
Pitch Dark Jacobsen Pinot Noir Salt & Chocolate, 1.86 oz. - Value $8
This chocolate contains 73% cacao and the back of the bar is encrusted with Jacobsen sea salt, that is infused with Willamette valley pinot noir. The combination is awesome, but you need to love salt, as each bite is quite salty. The saltiness lingers but blends really well with the Nicaragua dark chocolate. It's simply divine!
Amedei Toscano Blond Chocolate Bar, 1.75 oz. - Value $8.20
This next chocolate bar has a nice watercolor printed on the packaging, so I'm anticipating this to taste fruity. And that is exactly what I got! The 63% Italian dark chocolate is blended with peach and dried apricot, which is apparent upon the first bite. The outer bar is really smooth, but there is a fine crunch on the inside and slight chewiness from the apricot. I enjoyed this bar as well!
There is a lot of information about Amedei on the inside of the bar's packaging. The packaging's quality is top-notch and I would definitely check out other options to purchase in the future (Chococurb's shop offers a few other fruit and nut options).
Theo Cinnamon Horchata Milk Chocolate Bar, 1.9 oz. - Value $3
Now, this next combination is one I've never tried before. Theo combines 45% milk chocolate with cinnamon and crisped quinoa. The milk chocolate (my favorite kind) and the crisp are saving this bar for me. It is overall good and priced right, but unfortunately, I didn't like the cinnamon flavor enough to seek this out again. It was fun to try, though!
Dick Taylor Belize Toledo Dark Chocolate Bar, 2 oz. - Value $8.50
A baroque-inspired pattern is stamped on the front of this next bar and is so pretty! Overall, the bar is smooth and rich but the 72% Belize cacao is quite bitter for my personal taste. There are also tasting notes of dried plum, tart cherry, and jasmine and I love that there are only two ingredients in this bar: organic cacao and organic cane sugar.
Fran's Chocolates Macadamia Gold Bar, 1.5 oz. - Value $3.75
Lastly, I received this organic macadamia, caramel, and dark chocolate bar from Fran's Chocolates. And wow is it good! I love how the crunchy macadamia nut blends with the creamy caramel and the dark chocolate is just icing on the cake. In addition to being organic, this bar is also fair trade and gluten-free.
Verdict: This is my first month trying Chococurb and I am impressed with their curation of high-quality chocolate! For $35 (shipping included), I received five different chocolate bars, worth $31.45. That value is better than last month but a few dollars short of the box's cost. As much as it would be great for the value to exceed $35, my sweet tooth is happy with everything sent. Typically I steer away for individual artisan bars with a price tag of over $5, so this is a great way to try higher-end options from all over the US. I also think the quality curation of this box would make an excellent gift.
