reviews I picked this up on a recent trip to the grocery store after craving it from all of your reviews. I only bought this one, but let me tell you, this is silly good chocolate. I usually buy lindt's 80% cocoa chocolate to get my fix, but this is even better. It is extremely smooth and velvety. Dark chocolate can't be consumed in large quantities, but this one is so good I've been eating several squares a day. That might actually be a bad thing :P.

They aren't kidding when they say Intense. I like dark chocolate but this one was really strong. I couldn't have more than one piece of this bar at a time. It tastes fantastic but it is rich and has that strong bite to it that doesn't leave you wanting to eat a ton more. This bar is why I love dark chocolate - you only need a very little bit to feel satisfied, unlike milk chocolate where you can just keep eating. This bar doesn't have anything in it but chocolate so it is completely smooth without any pieces or nibs inside of it. I would highly recommend this only to those who like dark chocolate, those of you who don't - this is not the one for you because it is very intense!

Nestle Noir Intense is the perfect chocolate for baking and garnishes. The chocolate is firm, but not too hard to grate using a rasp or a vegetable peeler, if you want to make chocolate ribbons. I used this to make a decadent mug of hot chocolate by melting a few pieces of chocolate in the milk, and adding chocolate shavings on top. This resulted in a richer than usual drink. Since it was dark chocolate, it was not too sweet - just perfect. I'm not sure if I would want to eat this on its own, but it sure tasted good in my hot chocolate. Can't wait to try it with my baking! [ back to top ] This review is the subjective opinion of a ChickAdvisor member and not of ChickAdvisor Inc.

reviews I offered my three taste testers the option to use this member of the Nestle Noir collection as an ingredient for chocolate chip cookies. They declined and opted to eat it plain. Despite it's intense chocolate name, it smells rather sweet to me compared to other dark chocolate bars (except for the cheaper drug store varieties). It was the only one from the Nestle Noir collection that wasn't finished in one sitting - there's still a piece lingering in my kitchen cupboard.

I really liked this chocolate. I enjoy dark chocolate, but am not a connoisseur. B/c I do not consider myself a die-hard dark chocolate lover, I worry that serious dark chocolate eaters will find this bar, at 70% cocoa, being too sweet. But for the casual dark chocolate consumer, this product is perfect. [ back to top ] This review is the subjective opinion of a ChickAdvisor member and not of ChickAdvisor Inc.

reviews Dark chocolate, pure and simple. 70% is my favourite, not overly rich. This is a lovely, creamy bar, perfect for nibbling. Goes beautifully with a hot cup of mint tea! [ back to top ] This review is the subjective opinion of a ChickAdvisor member and not of ChickAdvisor Inc.

reviews This was the second one I tried, after the Cerise variety. It's hard for me to view this as regular "eating chocolate" due to the rich and complex flavour. I sampled 2 squares and couldn't imagine eating more. It seems much more like a decadent treat than an everyday snack. I grated the rest of the bar and added it to steamed milk (with a touch of honey) and it made a fantastic hot chocolate! I also think it would be great melted, for dipping fruit!

reviews Smooth, melt-in-your mouth texture. Strong dark chocolatey taste, but with enough sweetness that is doesn't taste like cheap chocolate. The combination of bitter and sweet was just enough. Not too much of either. I enjoyed that this one is plain with no "bits" in it. The taste is a bit strong to sit and eat the entire thing, but a square here and there or crumbed over some ice cream is great!

Of the 4, this one ranked as number 2! I love plain dark chocolate, and was happy to see that they included one that didn't have any extra features (like the caramel, cherry or the cocoa bean pieces). I did find the intense to have more of a bite compared to the others, which of course was expected, though it didn't seem to be too much different from other brands of dark chocolates I've tried. I did find though that it was very smooth and creamy, and melted in my mouth, which made it stand out from most dark chocolates. This is one that would be perfect to sit back and enjoy with a nice hot drink. [ back to top ] This review is the subjective opinion of a ChickAdvisor member and not of ChickAdvisor Inc.
