Pralus 100% reviews:
“Like this bar. If you ever come across someone who doubts that chocolate is like falling in love, please refer them to a 100% bar. They’ll be unable to betray such a love.”
“85% – absolutely loved it”
Dark Chocolate Blog – Critical Tastings
“Pralus knows how to roast a bean, and there is no clearer example of that than the Le 100%. “
“Both of us were surprised by the complete lack of bitterness.”; “Overall, neither of us especially liked the taste. “
“Until recently, Le 100% had been my favorite 100% bar. Unfortunately, Pralus changed the recipe and used a roast that tastes excessive to me. It is still a good chocolate, but no longer near the top of our ranking of 100% chocolate bars”
Seventy Percent
“One should encourage Pralus not to change things but to make sure they stay exactly as they are – as a bar that embodies the essence of chocolate.” (Alex Rast, 2007)
The Food Buster
“You taste cocoa in its rawest, purest, harshest, and strongest form, yet you taste a surprising amount of subtlety in the chocolate.”

“Pralus 100% is so pure, so creamy and smooth, so subtly sweet that it makes me wonder if I could exist on this alone: chocolate and no water and no air and no sleep, but just this.”
