Introduction to Texture Box

About the box

While we can describe chocolate as being fruity, nutty, or astringent, it’s often more difficult to articulate the texture of a bar. We may have broad descriptions like a bar being smooth, coarse, or crunchy, our vocabulary of texture (at least in the English language) is far more limited than that of flavour. So we’ve put together a box full of bars that we think encapsulate a variety of textures, from butteriness to grittiness, along with a texture guide based off the extensive vocabulary of texture used in Japanese.

Taste these bars alongside the guide to see which terms fit each bar the best, and see if there are any other words you would use to describe them.
