“I?ve never reviewed dark chocolate with such a pronounced cherry Bakewell Tart character than this bar. “
Seventy Percent (Alex Rast) – http://www.seventypercent.com/2011/05/marcolini-oriente-cuba-terruno-de-baracoa/ (2011)
“Succeeding where others have merely striven in vain, the frustratingly erratic Marcolini produces a masterpiece from an uncommon source. “
