What do other people who've discovered Menakao - Dark Chocolate 100% with Cocoa Nibs have to say?
Really enjoyed it, nice creamy texture, melts in the mouth beautifully. Coffee and citrus, a little less of the typical sweet, dark berry of Madagascan chocolate. The cocoa nibs are nice, but have a bit of a strange texture on the outside of the bar - when I let it just melt in the mouth the texture makes me think of having a thin foil wrapper that’s accidentally stuck to the chocolate. Removed a star for that, but the taste is lovely.

One of my favourites - Menakao make the punchiest chocolate I know of. Extremely acidic so stay away if that's not your thing but if you're in search of stronger flavours then congrats, you've found it. I preferred their earlier 100% bar without the nibs as it feels like the nibs mellow it out a little. Fortunately you can still get that as buttons in the 'Cooking Chocolate' section.

Ignore the bad reviews. I have tried lots of 100% bars, being an avid fan, and I love it. The acidity and bitterness is amazing, giving me a real punch, which I adore. Man up and enjoy the kick. I adore it!

Very strong with strong citrus aftertaste. Distinctive, I would buy again.

extremely acidic in comparison with anyother 100% i have tried. in order to tolerate with this one half a square is enough. almost the same happens with 80% menakao. However 72% and below menakao chocolates are really interesting ,full of aromas with the 63% combava pink pepper being my favourite

I was initially dissuaded from buying this because of the negative reviews, but as I love Menakao’s 80 percent and am a 100% fan, I finally bought a bar and I’m so glad I did. It’s amazing! It has a wonderfully powerful roasted cacao flavour which is quite savoury, tempered by a gorgeous citrus sweet edge. Its my new favourite 100% bar!

Like Dina A said it is a strong bold chocolate
Personally I like the creamer one like Bonnat
I’m a relatively newbie with 100% cocoa – so the older hands may taste things I’m not ???

We’ve been rating our bars on our regular deliveries for the past 6 months now, this bar scored the worst of all the bars we’ve tried. The high percentage of cocoa stops adding complexity and flavour and tips the scale firmly into the bitter and unpleasant zone. It’s just too much. We used half the bar in cooking, it wasn’t a nice experience as chocolate in its own right.

This is a strong, bold 100% bar, the highly roasted tones and that strong citrus aftertaste mean one piece is enough for me. Unfortunately I just find it too acidic and not fruity enough for my liking for a high percentage cocoa content.
