Amedei's unique signature '9' blend involved years of research and of discovering and restoring nine key cocoa plantations whose special beans, blended and refined according to Amedei's exacting formula, become a strong and balanced dark chocolate whose taste expresses the distinctive and nuanced qualities of each plantation. Just as a fine scotch whiskey benefits from the best balance of key ingredients, so does the '9'. You will savour a unique, tantalising journey of exquisite and sometimes surprising flavour notes, such as cherry and molasses, clove, blueberry, coffee and earthy/grassy tones. The '9' blend first heralded Amedei's emergence as a world force in chocolate making and is a true connoisseur's chocolate.
