Cocoacara Orange and Chili
June 6, 2011
The Terravita line of dark chocolate uses 77% cocoa as a bold, chocolate base. The added, exotic flavor combinations include orange peels and chili, as well as coffee and cardamom.
What I like most about the orange and chili combination is the intense chocolate and orange up front when you first bite into it, and then just when you think you have finished, the heat from the chili kicks in. It is a pleasant finish albeit a surprise!
The orange peels are tiny and chewy and flavorful--just the way I like them. The most impressive thing about his bar is the powerful impact of the chocolate at 77%. (The Lindt Intense Orange is very good, but the chocolate cocoa content is 47% and thus more subdued.)
The website for TerraVita is very interesting. It is in Polish and built for entertainment. Check it out--www.terravita.pl.
By the way, you can also order these bars from Amazon (click here to see).
Enjoy!

I investigated the polyglycerol polyricinoleate and learned that it was an artificial ingredient that is inexpensive to make and can reduce the need for more the expensive ingredient cocoa butter. Although there is no research that indicates inherent toxicity, it does take this bar out of the category of a natural food (in my opinion) and therefore reduces its health value. Cacoa is known to have many very positive health benefits but the same is definitely not true of this ingredient. In general, I strongly believe we should not be eating things that were not originally alive. Cocoa butter comes from a live plant PGPR, as it is known, does not. The ingredient is written in the smallest of letters on the label and is nowhere to be found on the website.
The label lists a strange ingredient. polyglycerol polyricinolaete and I do not know what that is and if it is healthy to consume or not. I am suspicious
I tried this on a whim from a 7-11! In Chicago !!! Where can I find in the US?!

Love the Orange/chili dark chocolate. Where can I find besides Big Lots?
I bought both the Cardamom and Coffee and the Orange Chili at Big Lots. Went back and bought the remaining nine bars. Now I’m addicted and can’t find out where to find more.
Help please!!
I bought a bar of the cardamom and coffee at Big Lots for $1.50 a bar. What a bargain!!
I got this chocolate at Marshalls. The chili kick was perfect! Where can I get a permanent supply?? I want to try the cardamom flavor too.
