Steiner, Maracaibo (65%)

In the not too distant past, it would have been inconceivable for a mom-and-pop Swiss bakery to launch an own-brand dark chocolate bar. Dark chocolate was regarded a non-traditional product, something which was best left to the Belgians and, perhaps, the globally minded marketers at Nestlé. So, it is clearly a sign of changing times and a new appreciation for dark chocolate when the local baker starts hawking his own brand of premium dark chocolate bars.

Maracaibo Grand Cru is a new dark chocolate bar from Steiner Bäckerei, a local chain best known for serving up coissants, sandwiches, and pralines to global-trotting clientele in the Zürich Airport. Maracaibo is a country origin bar, made of Criollo cacao from the Maracaibo region of Venezuela. Leaving aside the unfortunate choice of translucent plastic packaging and awkwardly oversized bar shape for a moment, the chocolate is well designed, with a shiny glow and crisp break. First impressions are positive for this chocolate, with a fine balance between bitter and sweet tastes complemented hints of smoke, nuts, vanilla, and fruits. The taste evolves towards increasing sweetness and lingers for some time after finishing, which may not appeal to everyone. Nonetheless, Maracaibo is a very promising debut in the dark chocolate world for a little bakery.
