Dark Chocolate tasting

Facilitator: Željko Filipin

Premise

Provided were 4 samples of chocolate of differing cocoa content: - 50% - 70% - 85% - 95%

Instructions

Željko explained that the order in which you taste each affects the perception of sweetness. Starting with 95%, if you follow up with 85% it would taste much sweeter than if you tried 85% first. It was noted that it is important to let the chocolate melt, rather than to chew it.
