Cacao Style


If you ever have the chance to attend a lesson on chocolate appreciation, you would learn to appreciate the percentage of real cocoa in the chocolates available in the market.

In recent years, Meiji had been coming out with a series of candy with a high percentage of cocoa content. It certainly moves me to know that they are serious in their candy-making.

How do you tell if the product you bought has real cocoa? Look at the cocoa percentage stated on the pack. Anything that states 70% and above is lethally real cocoa.

CACAO STYLE is a new Meiji product. It has a coating of 82% cocoa around a fruity center. This one I'd got is orange. I was expecting a runny middle, much like fruit juice candy, the chewy orange flavored center was certainly a surprise!

Bitter cocoa followed by tangy orange chewy, that is the sensation you will get when you bite into one of these.

This is clearly a product for the adult tastebuds, the level of bitterness may even won itself more male fans than females. Overall, it makes a very nice snack for people who do not like overly sweetness.
