Review: Dolfin Dark Chocolate with Pink Peppercorn
I’m starting to look into cleaning up some of the stray bars of chocolate that are lurking around my place (there are soooo many) and the bar that caught my eye tonight was Dolfin’s Dark Chocolate With Pink Peppercorn. Dolfin are a Belgian company that produce some very nice bars of chocolate in both pure chocolate bars and bars of chocolate blended with other natural ingredients ranging from fresh ginger to masala to the pink peppercorn in tonight’s bar. And they wrap the whole thing up in this lovely little plastic pouch with a nice sticky label on it so you can reseal it and store your leftovers in style.
Inside the pouch the bar hides in a basic white wrapper. Before tearing into it you can smell a hint of the chocolate. Once you tear the wrap you smell chocolate and a nice strong aroma of pepper. The bar is well formed a nice light gloss and snaps beautifully. And when you break it you are welcomed by another strong whiff of pepper. What I find funny is that the pepper wasn’t that strong in the taste – at first. Once it kicked in it was strong and offset the strong chocolate nicely. And you get little bursts of the pepper as you hit the crunchy little peppercorn bits. The flavor is warm and nice, but may be too powerful for some especially if they don’t like a strong pepper flavor (of course if you don’t like a strong pepper flavor I can’t imagine you’d really be in a hurry to try this bar). It seemed like it was going to finish with all pepper but after a minute it backed off and became more chocolaty with the pepper fading to a background hint. And it lingers forever.
Overall I found the bar to be very nice. I’ve enjoyed each of the bars I’ve tried from Dolfin and this one is no exception but I do find that a little bit goes a long way. This bar will take me weeks to finish because a small bite delivers so much. I’m going to call it an 8.25 out of 10. Powerful stuff.

I too have an obscene pile of excellent dark chocolate bars that I just haven't gotten around to trying lately.
I have had this one and I love that I can have some and then save it and still have it look respectable in a week when I open the package again. (Those microthin foils that everything else seems to come in lately just don't work.)
