I did indeed buy it mail order, to Philadelphia, from Amano directly. They packed it in a styrofoam container, with ice packs; by the time it arrived the ice packs weren't particularly cool, but the chocolate didn't seem warm either. The texture seems fine. Oh well, it was worth a shot. Interesting… I did indeed buy it mail order, to Philadelphia, from Amano directly.

Did you buy through mail (to where? how was the temperature?) I did buy 2 more today at our local chocolate store, Fog City News - they are as excellent as the first 2 I had.

It seems totally one-dimensional to us, lacking in complexity. Not at all bad, just thoroughly unimpressive. Perhaps, being single origin chocolate, there's a great deal of variation in quality?

This Cuyagua bar is better. My top 4 bars would be Amano Cuyagua, Amedei Procelana, Amano Ocumare, and Amedei Chuao. (BTW, I edited your comment b/c I don't want to get involved in that stuff.)
