Any Lindt product should definitely be consumed on a regular basis. The 90% cocoa is great in the smallest amount and should be eaten very slowly so your taste-buds can pick up the hidden sweetness in it. I use this chocolate mostly for making fruit and nut bark, or in cakes and brownies. I eat mostly the 85% for snack time. The price is good for the great quality, but it gets expensive when you use large amounts to bake with.
This is a chocolate for someone who wants to make a point.
The reason I say this is because the taste is really intense. If you've ever baked with cocoa powder before (making a chocolate cake or brownie from scratch, for example), you know that there is such a thing as too much cocoa.
Don't get me wrong, I did like this chocolate. It's just not for the uninitiated. If you are iffy on dark chocolate to begin with, I'd suggest you steer clear. But if you're a serious dark chocoholic this is a good option for you.
One or two squares and your chocolate fix is done. Unlike milk chocolate where - let's be honest now - you probably want to eat the entire bar, this amount of cocoa gets it done in a fraction of the quantity AND you can feel justified due to the minor health benefits of dark chocolate.
Personally it's too strong for me. I love Lindt chocolate but will probably stick to their 70% bar or the Dark with Sea Salt (I think that one is around 50% cocoa).
