Buo Cioccolato Fondente 70%

Buo Cioccolato Fondente 70% is a dark chocolate bar for people who want a simple, fairly direct cocoa hit rather than a candy-like one. By our assessment, its strength is the clear 70% profile: enough sugar to stay smooth, enough cocoa to taste firm and slightly bitter. The trade-off is equally clear, because this style gives less sweetness and fewer soft add-ons than milk chocolate or filled bars. In practice it is the kind of bar you break a square from and let sit, not something that disappears in a hurry. Against other dark tablets, it sits in the middle ground: more approachable than very high-percentage bars, less plush than dessert-style chocolate. The catalogue’s extra dégustation label fits that reading, and the limit is simply that it lives or dies on whether this level of darkness is what you want.
