Review: Delicious, just not for the inexperienced. Make sure you know what you're signing up for. - I'm a major chocoholic, and when I learned about the health benefits of higher concentrated dark chocolate I had to give it a try. I started off with 90% or so, and predictably I wasn't prepared for the chalky bitterness and spit it out. I knew the higher cacao percent would be different, but this was nowhere near the typical sugary sweet milk chocolate that's popular today! I then tried it again with 82%... not bad, not bad. Much easier to get into. Just a little bitter, but still very, very enjoyable. The time after that was spent experimenting with different brands and getting mixed results. I wanted to go up to 99% and decided to order this one off desertcart after I couldn't find the bar in Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Whole Market, etc. One thing I love about this "bar" is that it's actually just a bunch of small chocolate squares pre-cut and arranged. Perfect for sampling/handing out for others to try. As for the taste itself... interesting. The first bite caught me off guard, and memories of my first ever dark chocolate experience came flooding back to me. Initially very bitter, but after a few more squares and experimentation it actually became quite delicious. The key to full appreciation is to just let it melt in your mouth. Place the square on your tongue and enjoy the flavors slowly release. Going back the next day, I've also discovered this stuff is great in coffee! Overall it's very good, but it's definitely an acquired taste. Don't let the initial bitterness deter you, this is delicious! If you've never had dark chocolate before, I highly recommend starting lower (around 50-70% cacao) and working your way up.
Review: Lindt Excellence 99% is truly Excellent! - I tried this wonderful chocolate recently, and decided to order 5 bars directly from Lindt USA. It is excellent in my opinion. What a wonderful, deep, robust flavor! I enjoy a small piece with a cup of green tea. It is a bit expensive at $5/bar, but it is so full of flavor that it is worth it. Since it is to be taken in small quantities, each bar will last a bit. This kind of strong, full flavored dark chocolate is definitely an acquired taste, and for the true lover of high quality chocolate. I might even say that this is an "adult" chocolate, not your kids Mars bar.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this bar sugar-,dairy-and gluten-free?**
A: Bar description dose not say: sugar, dairy, gluten free

**Q: Is this just one 1.8 oz bar?**
A: I ordered several, each bar was that size.

**Q: Is this alkaline**
A: YES. 
Lindt. The Lindt Excellence range includes 70%, 78%, 85%, 90%, and 99% Cacao bars. ... 85% – Chocolate, cocoa powder, cocoa butter, demerara sugar, bourbon vanilla beans. 90% – Chocolate, cocoa butter, cocoa powder processed with alkali, sugar, bourbon vanilla beans.

**Q: Manufacturing and expiry date of Lindt 99% dark chocolate?**
A: First of all, I like the 85% and 90% Lindt bars. 99% is bitter. As much as I like chocolate, the 99% is too much. Less than 85% is starting to taste sweet. I don't know the manufacturing dates.  The bars I have now have an expiration date of 2/29/2024 so that's a least over a year and a half of shelf life. It's important to keep the chocolate at room temperature or below. I have bought bars at the grocery store that seem to have been exposed to heat and they were not as good. I've started ordering from Amazon, I've had no issues with freshness through them.

### ⭐ TERRIBLE! I've tried the 99 before but this one is bad
*by C***O on February 4, 2025*

I always get 99 when I'm abroad, but the one from here is just bad. The chocolate doesn't melt in ur mouth, instead its like how I imagine eating chalk is like. The flavor is completely gone. The chocolate is also oxidized when I opened the box. Do not order ur dark chocolate from Amazon, save ur self the disappointment and order from international sellers. Might take longer but the taste is much better
