A lot of “dark chocolate” actually has very little dark chocolate. Actual dark chocolate is rather tart in flavor.

They are a great many types of “dark chocolate”. Wish they were more specific about their definition of dark chocolate.

If I’m not mistaken, the key is the amount of cocoa. 70% or so cocoa percentage is what you should be looking for.

And as you noted, it will be tart/bitter.

Yeah - what exactly are we talking about here? The typical consumer type of “dark chocolate” like Hersheys special dark (ick) or “raw” bakers dark chocolate?

10+ years ago Bakers 100% baking chocolate came out highest in a Consumerlabs investigation for the least cadmium and lead. Not that I’m particularly worried but just so everyone knows some brands are better at preventing high levels of heavy metals from contaminating its chocolate than others.
