Amalia Chocolate con Leche


I have tried a couple of the Spanish chocolatier Amalia's bars, and liked one and not the other so much. This is their milk chocolate version, and the cacao content is at 37% (fairly high for a milk chocolate, which are normally around 30%). The ingredient listing is otherwise short, sugar, cocoa and cocoa butter, milk powder, lecithin and vanillin.



How does it taste? I've really given up eating milk chocolate, it just doesn't do it for me as a chocolate fix, but this one is fairly good, creamy and smooth. I would like to see a 70% bar made by them.

Amalia Chocolate Puro


Similar to the Dark Almond from Spanish chocolatier Amalia that I tried previously, this is a dark chocolate, with 55% cacao content. The ingredient listing is good, short, sugar, cocoa (cocoa and cocoa butter), lecithin and vanillin.



How does it taste? The bar snaps well, smells fairly good, and is good tasting, if a little fruity. It leaves a pleasant aftertaste. I would like to see a 70% version from Amalia, I think that might be a good chocolate bar.

Amalia Dark Chocolate with Almonds


Amalia is another Spanish chocolatier, this is one of their bars, a dark chocolate with almonds. The cacao content is at 55%, and is thus just a dark chocolate bar. Otherwise, the ingredient listing looks good, sugar, cocoa (cocoa and cocoa butter), almonds (at 15% content), lecithin and vanillin.



How does it taste? The chocolate is definitely dark, and serves as a decent dark chocolate, but certainly not a great one. The almond pieces are big, which is good. Overall, I would say that this bar is okay, and that I would not buy it again.
