Chocolate review: Pobeda Dark Chocolate 50% Nuts & Raisins

It seems that I still have a backlog of chocolate reviews. I saw these Pobeda Dark Chocolate bars at the Puregold branch inside the Clark Freeport Zone. The name Pobeda was familiar to me because there are Pobeda watches. Perhaps its a totally different company that makes these chocolates? Who knows. They might have diversified their product lines and are also into food.

This was a big bar of chocolate that was comparable in size with the laundry soap bars you can get at the supermarkets.

The back of the bar contains information on ingredients, nutrition and the manufacturer, among others.

Nutrition information on the chocolate.

The chocolate is Made in Russia. I didn't expect to be able to buy Russian chocolates at Clark so I got a few to have an idea about how they tasted.

Ingredients in English - there is no mention of the minimum cacao % in the chocolate. I guessed I should just trust the 50% claim stated in front of the packaging.

The chocolate was okay. It was decent as far as imported chocolates go. I thought it was on the sweet side of chocolates as far as dark chocolates go. Perhaps it was because of the fruits integrated in the chocolates that made it sweet? Shall I buy more of these if the opportunity presents itself? Maybe. It was not so expensive and could be given as a gift especially with the approach of Christmas. But for personal consumption, maybe and more as something to enjoy occasionally rather than regularly.
