REVIEW:
The fine people at Gnosis Chocolate some of the best chocolate that I have had. High quality…check…good texture…check…raw…check…a long list of flavors. Gnosis has a lot of flavors ranging from their Simplicity Bar to more adventurous flavors lie the Mayan Heat Bar. We taste tested the Fleur De Sel (flower of salt in English) which is definitely an interesting flavor, but not for everyone. When you sink your teeth into this chocolate, you can tell right away that this chocolate is something special.
Price is one thing that will deter many. $10 for a 2oz piece of chocolate??? Seems ridiculous, but there is a reason for it. For one, this chocolate is made completely by hand. This chocolate is also made of all raw materials so you won’t find any processed junk in this chocolate. So if you want high quality chocolate and are willing to look past the price tag, then this is the chocolate for you. If you don’t like salt crystals in your chocolate, you will probably want to consider a flavor other than Fleur de Sel. We are not typically fans of raw food, but this is one raw food product that we could live with.
Taste: The salt was not doing it for me, so to be fair, I’m basing this on just the chocolate. This was a darker chocolate that was perfectly sweet. It had a nice texture to it that was very pleasing to the palette however towards the end it was a little grainy. This is probably because it is made of raw materials.
Labeling: The labeling is chock full of information. On the front are all of the certifications it has. On the sides are the ingredients and a little description of the flavor. On the back is a story about the company. For a small box, it sure does have a lot to say.
Packaging: The packaging is very attractive. It looks more like a gift than a container for chocolate. A big plus is that the box is made of 100% recycled material and the label is Naturefex which is sustainably sourced. This is the first label that I have seen of its kind.
