Intense and concentrated, with aromas of pure cocoa, roasted coffee and toasted cacao, followed by subtle nuances of dark fruit, warm spice and earthy minerality.
Palate:
Powerful cocoa immediately dominates the palate, gradually revealing layers of espresso, roasted nuts, dark berries and subtle spice. The extremely high cocoa content provides considerable intensity and pleasantly assertive bitterness, yet the chocolate remains remarkably composed and balanced.
Texture:
Firm and beautifully refined, with a precise snap followed by a slow, silky melt that allows the chocolate's complexity to unfold gradually across the palate.
Finish:
Exceptionally long and persistent, leaving lingering notes of dark cocoa, espresso, roasted nuts and elegant bitterness.

The Toscano Black collection is one of the house's defining expressions, showcasing the character of dark chocolate at progressively higher cocoa concentrations.
Amedei Toscano Black 90% is a serious chocolate for the true dark-chocolate enthusiast. Powerful and concentrated yet impressively elegant, it demonstrates that very high cocoa content can deliver complexity and refinement rather than bitterness alone.
Best enjoyed slowly and at room temperature, allowing a small piece to melt naturally on the palate and reveal its full spectrum of cocoa, roasted and subtly fruity flavors.
The intensity of Toscano Black 90% makes it particularly suited to mature spirits and fortified wines.
Excellent with aged Cognac, Armagnac, mature whisky, aged dark rum, Vintage Port or Madeira. The chocolate's deep roasted character is also a natural partner for an intense espresso.
For something more adventurous, try it with a powerful Amarone della Valpolicella or Barolo Chinato, where the wine's bittersweet herbal and spice character complements the intensity of the cacao.
PAIR WITH:
Aged Rum · Cognac · Armagnac · Vintage Port · Madeira · Whisky · Espresso
