Chocolate review: Valrhona Tulakalum

The trip to Bangkok yielded several Valrhona's from the duty free shop at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Those included this 75% cacao bar. It was the first time we encountered Tulakalum, which at 75% we thought could be a little too strong to be a standalone eat. Perhaps it could go well with some ice cream?

Tulakalum is a 75% cacao dark chocolate

Details on the chocolate are at the back of the packaging as well as on the inside of it (as shown later).

Ingredients including a minimum of 75% cacao that was sourced from Belize.

Nutrition information on the chocolate

Storage temperature tip (keep it in a dry place at 16-18 C).

The chocolate is wrapped in gold-colored foil.

More details on the chocolate including tips on how to enjoy it. The cacao is sourced from Belize and is supposed to have that nutty taste mixing it up with the cocoa nibs that gives some crunch to the chocolate.

We decided to try it out first to determine how strong this 75% dark chocolate was. It turned out to be one of the smoothest dark chocolates we've had above 70%. The nutty taste was there and it blended well with the bar and the cacao nibs. This is a must buy the next time we see this chocolate in a shop.
