Chocolate review: Vanini Dark Chocolate 74% with cocoa nibs

It's nice to have some chocolate on rainy days like the ones we are now experiencing in Antipolo due to Habagat. And this is not limited to the hot chocolate that we can enjoy any time of the day. We opened one of the Italian chocolates in our cache. We selected a bar that I remember we got from Bacchus at Shangri-la Edsa. That store had a pretty good selection of Italian chocolates and we never fail to pick up a few to go with the wines that we purchase there once in a while.

The maker prominently states the use of Bagua Cocoa, which is a superior quality cocoa originating in Peru
Details on the chocolate at the back
Information on the cacao and the principles in making this chocolate including fair trade and the use of non-GMO cacao.
Nutrition information, ingredients and the manufacturer. If you hover your smart phone on the label, it will detect the code and prompt you to open the company's website.
We were surprised when we opened the packaging to find more information about the chocolate inside.
Detailed information on the cocoa/cacao used for this chocolate, which is Bagua cocoa. This is supposed to be the original cacao from the Amazon that was later on spread to other countries.
The company's slogan and intentions are good. We can just hope that they are really helping make these realities at present.
This was another excellent chocolate that goes very well with wine, coffee, tea or even hot chocolate. I don't exactly recall the price but it did not exceed 150 pesos, which is pretty good bang for the buck for 100g of excellent quality chocolate. We'll definitely get more of these the next time there's an opportunity.
