I was keen to know what this chocolate tastes like though unfortunately when it arrived it was clear it had melted sometime during shipping which changed the structure and turned a bunch of it back into cocoa powder. I'm rather disappointed that it barely tastes edible and as a fan of really dark chocolate I'm doubtful that's how they're supposed to taste.By contrast I ordered theGhirardelli Chocolate Intense Dark Chocolate Bars, 86% Cacao Midnight Reverie, 3.17 oz.and was rather confused by the higher shipping costs. I figured out why when they arrived. They'd been shipped with special freezer packs and bubble wrapped. The freezer packs kept the chocolate from melting and they arrived in perfect condition.
