I would definitely NOT recommend Vintage Plantations' 90% which is, sadly,
a very poor chocolate indeed. Fortunately, there is a superb chocolate
which also happens to be Ecuador Arriba at the same percentage - Slitti
Super Novanta Tropicale 90%. Awesome and simply the best 90% chocolate on
the market. It should be able to be found with a reasonable search.
