Thank you George for sharing this find!
A hard wax-brittle start gave way to rich flavors (think unsweetened baker's chocolate and you'll get the general idea).
The very high 99% cacao content was achieved by adding just a small pinch of cane sugar, and omitting milk or any other fillers that might dilute the chocolate. The absence of sugar lets the cacao flavors and maker's skill shine through.
