Love dark chocolate and this is one of my favorites. This is also a great chocolate for baking, I use this for all my baking but go to 80% cocoa. I will never use Baker's Chocolate again. Nestle Noir gives a much richer taste.

Dark chocolate is my favourite and this has a great taste and melts in your mouth. The squares are a good size so you dont need too much. Fills my sweet cravings.

I picked this up on a recent trip to the grocery store after craving it from all of your reviews. I only bought this one, but let me tell you, this is silly good chocolate. I usually buy lindt's 80% cocoa chocolate to get my fix, but this is even better. It is extremely smooth and velvety. Dark chocolate can't be consumed in large quantities, but this one is so good I've been eating several squares a day. That might actually be a bad thing :P.

If you don't generally like dark chocolate, this may convert you. If you do, you will LOVE this. It is the smoothest dark chocolate I've ever tried - esp for this price point. It was around $3 at Loblaws.

They aren't kidding when they say Intense. I like dark chocolate but this one was really strong. I couldn't have more than one piece of this bar at a time. It tastes fantastic but it is rich and has that strong bite to it that doesn't leave you wanting to eat a ton more. This bar is why I love dark chocolate - you only need a very little bit to feel satisfied, unlike milk chocolate where you can just keep eating. This bar doesn't have anything in it but chocolate so it is completely smooth without any pieces or nibs inside of it. I would highly recommend this only to those who like dark chocolate, those of you who don't - this is not the one for you because it is very intense!

Of the 4, this one ranked as number 2! I love plain dark chocolate, and was happy to see that they included one that didn't have any extra features (like the caramel, cherry or the cocoa bean pieces). I did find the intense to have more of a bite compared to the others, which of course was expected, though it didn't seem to be too much different from other brands of dark chocolates I've tried. I did find though that it was very smooth and creamy, and melted in my mouth, which made it stand out from most dark chocolates. This is one that would be perfect to sit back and enjoy with a nice hot drink.

This was truly a wonderful treat! I thought this would be too intense for me but it was extremely delicious and enjoyable. It was very creamy, smooth, sweet and really not bitter at all for the amount of cocoa in it. It was much better than the Eclat Noir (which was quite bitter) and would definitely choose this if purchasing chocolate. I really want to repeat how creamy, smooth, sweet and delicious this chocolate was for a dark chocolate. It really was.

I love chocolate so much I can't help but chew it. But, it was so good I chose to let it melt in my mouth, which is the way you are supposed to eat chocolate, and really found myself a little bit closer to heaven for a few minutes. I think even milk chocolate lovers would like this. It's a winner for Nestle!

This definitely is the best dark chocolate I have ever tried. I am surprised that Nestle could make such a decadent and rich treat! It is high quality chocolate, I find better than any other Nestle pure chocolate that's out there.

For me something that makes the chocolate feel more special is the packaging. The gold foil on the inside makes me feel like I'm opening chocolate bar with the golden ticket from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! Just a little bit of fun anticipation you get when you open a bar of chocolate... like when you were a kid!

Nutritionally it's not that bad either. 70% dark chocolate can give you endorphins -- and lifts your mood! Plus, it is way less processed than milk or white chocolate. Although all chocolate is high in calories, the bittersweetness of dark chocolate (especially I find from this particular one) makes you crave less and eat less of it in order to feel satisfied. This one was not too bitter and had more sweetness to it, which I particularly enjoyed. All the more reason to treat yourself!

I am a big fan of dark chocolate, and this is definitely the best I've ever tried! It doesn't have the same bite that other dark chocolates have. It's a bit sweeter and very rich and creamy. Certainly not as "intense" as others I've tried, which is a good thing because while I love dark chocolate some of the more intense ones are just too much. But this one is somehow perfect with the great bitterness you want from dark chocolate without being overwhelming.

I've always preferred milk chocolate over dark chocolate. That is, before I had a taste of Noir Intense. I was really surprised at how creamy and smooth it is, not to mention how delicious it tastes! This turned out to be my favourite of the Nestle Noir chocolates.

Personally, it isn't exactly what I would call "intense" in the usual sense. The flavour is different from your average dark chocolate. Definitely less bite, and a bit sweeter than others. To me, it is the perfect blend of creamy bittersweetness that makes Noir Intense one of the best chocolates I've ever tried.

I have always loved dark chocolate and only tolerated the other flavors. I've been through all the typical grocery brands and happened to have Hershey's Cacao Reserve (65%) on hand when I received the Nestle Noir Intense to try. To that point, I had found the Cacao Reserve one of the best dark chocolates for its price point.

I did a taste test comparison and was really surprised at the difference. While the Cacao Reserve had that characteristic twangy bitterness that most dark varieties feature, the Nestle Noir was so smooth and creamy textured without any aftertaste. It still has that intense cocoa flavoring that I love but without the mouth-puckering bite I expected. My husband, very much not a fan of dark chocolate, tried a piece and was so surprised he asked for seconds.

I still enjoy the Cacao Reserve, but will be eagerly searching for Nestle Noir the next time I need my chocolate fix! I absolutely recommend this treat for any dark chocolate lover, as well as anyone who claims not to like the flavor - you may change your mind when you try this product!
