This offering from the Polish chocolatier Terravita is one of two that I recently found at The Apple Market (they make a whole range of chocolate bars in numerous flavour combinations, but only three that are dark chocolate with high cacao content). The cacao content of this bar is 77%. The ingredient listing looks good, cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, fat-reduced cocoa powder, coffee (1.1%), cardamom (0.5%), soya lecithin and flavourings.
How did it taste? The cardamom was not too strong but I think overwhelming if you don't like the taste (which I do) and there was an underlying mustiness or earthiness to the flavour (perhaps it was the type of cardamom). The coffee flavour I did not get. Overall, I would say that cardamom pairs well with chocolate (and I have made cookies that worked well), but the combination of flavourings ultimately failed in this bar. I don't think I would buy this bar again.

I loved this chocolate bar! However I can't find where to purchase it again. Found a one time buy at TJ Maxx's. Does anyone know where else I can purchase it?
Same here Steve- I came here looking for where to find another bar as well! Darned TjMaxx! :-)
Make that 3. Someone has to have it!
Make that 4! Found it at Marshalls during the holiday season. Among the best chocolate bars I've ever had. Surprised this guy didn't care for it, but I love coffee.
I love this chocolate bar - just bought six at Big Lots!!!!
