Food Review #46 Dagoba Organic Chocolate Chocodrops
Our first review of a baking chocolate, let's see how the Dagoba Organic Chocolate Chocodrops what we think of them!
As you may know, we previously reviewed their Xocolatl, New Moon, Lavender Blueberry, and Eclipse chocolate bars. They all were very good, and received scores of 10 out of 10. What will we think if it? Let's find out!
First off, Dagoba's Chocodrops are made with a 74% cacao content, just like the New Moon chocolate bar we reviewed earlier. I rather liked that bar; so I came into this with high expectations for this product.
All Dagoba Organic Chocolate products are at least 95% organic, and are certified organic by the USDA. All of their products became Rainforest Alliance Certified in 2012. For more information of Dagoba Organic Chocolate, you can go to their site here
This product comes in a convenient 8 oz.(226 gram) resealable package. This is a great size for recipes, and even to eat on it's own. The resealable package ensures that the chocolate does not get stale, and it is a very convenient solution to a problem that most chocolate chip/drop products do not address. The packaging also features a small clear "window" of plastic, and allows you to view the chocolate that is inside the package more easily, and adds further convenience.
Each "Chocodrop" is a button-shaped bit of chocolate, and they are about a centimeter or two in size, each (though there are some larger drops that can be as large as 2-3 centimeters in size. This is a perfect size for baking, and can be utilized in a variety of baked goods from cookies, to waffles, to brownies, to ebelskivers.
Enough with this, what about the taste?
Well, these have a strong, and very flavorful flavor. They are similar in taste to the New Moon chocolate bar we reviewed previously. Thus, I was pleasantly surprised at how good these are. They have a rich, delicious chocolately flavor; with notes of coffee, vanilla, amongst other notes. This chocolate has a multi-faceted flavor, and it tastes good even on it's own.
The consistency of this chocolate is thick, rich, and smooth. This products melts easily, quickly, and conveniently. It is perfect to use in a chocolate-chip cookie recipe (making it a Chocodrops cookie recipe), a chocolate chip brownie recipe, chocolate ebelskivers, chocolate chip pancakes or waffles, and so many other recipes. It is also wonderful for a melting chocolate, or just as a snack on it's own.
Overall, this one of the better baking chocolate products I have tried. And for our first review of a baking chocolate, it is a pretty good start.
All in all, Food Review #46 Dagoba Organic Chocolate Chocodrops is another stellar product from Dagoba, and gets a 10 out of 10! This is a great product from Dagoba, and I highly recommend it. It is available at stores across the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and more, as well as on Dagoba's online store here.
Sadly, this is our last Dagoba review for now, at least; and we look forward to reviewing more in the future!
