Out of curiosity, Alex, why (besides "versatility") do you rate this
chocolate so highly? It doesn't seem to be made with particularly
highfalutin' beans, and the original poster's ingredient list suggests
that it's not even made with pure cocoa butter. I've seen you sing its
praises many times, so I know this isn't just a passing fancy. I've
never tried it myself; I've been meaning to get some, based on your
frequent recommendations, but I haven't come across a place that sells
it in break-up, and I haven't felt like getting a whole 10 lb. block.
