Anybody try this one?
Seems to be rather expensive, but intriguing.
I have tried their 45% cocoa Lattenero bar and found it to be quite fine.
The LatteNero 70% is considerably better than the 45% - essentially like a
good dark chocolate. Generally the Slitti Lattenero series improve as you
go up the percentages, with the biggest break at the 62% - this one and the
70% are considerably better than the 45% and the 51%. Both of the high-
percentage ones lean towards a nutty, hazelnut flavour, with the 70% adding
fruity notes of cherry and strawberry.
However, IMHO neither the 70% nor the 62% are as good as Cluizel's Chocolat
Grand Lait Cacao Pur Ile de Java 50%, which is still the best milk
chocolate in the world. Also IMHO better than the 70% and 62% is Bonnat's
Asfarth. It's worth trying them side-by side to get a feel for the
differences.
