Anything over 75% and you're just pretending to enjoy it

Try eating 85% dark chocolate with salt (yes, salt) or salted nuts.

I like 70%. I had that Lindt w/Chili bar today and I am still erect. It's not overpowering and actually just kinda warms up after you enjoy the chocolate taste.

>That seems more like bittersweet than dark chocolate
This board is so fucking full of shit I swear to god.

I came here to say 75% or higher. Thing is, we dark chocolate lovers love the bitterness. A good quality chocolate has a layered taste, with a bitterness that has a sort of fruity aftertaste.

>mfw I was eating 85% as I opened this thread

>>9405770
I prefer milk chocolate to bittersweet or dark chocolate.

t. cadbury faggot.

65% is the lowest I would consider dark chocolate. I've had 50% dark chocolate and it almost tasted like milk chocolate.

>try some Green and Black's 85% dark chocolate
>somehow tastes creamier and richer than 85% Lindt

Most people consider 60% cocoa solids by weight the low cutoff point for dark chocolate. The FDA does not have a legal definition for dark chocolate under their sweet chocolate labeling regulations, as it only goes as high as defining bitter-sweet as:
>(3) Semisweet chocolate or bittersweet chocolate is sweet chocolate that contains not less than 35 percent by weight of chocolate liquor complying with the requirements of 163.111 and calculated in the same manner as set forth in paragraph (a)(2) of this section.

https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?fr=163.123

You simply have to read the back label of the packaging, although you can assume if the percentage of cocoa solids is not displayed on the front, it will be pretty low. Other countries have different legal definitions for labeling.

So, there's that gaping hole in legal definition between the 35% minimum and 60% common expectation in which you are likely to get a crummy "dark" chocolate if it is not labeled as "semi-sweet/bittersweet", yet does not have a percentage.
