- Worth noticing
- Bars are grouped by cacao percentage, and the club says makers do not see their pages before publication.
Field notes
The journal explains several chocolate details in practical terms, including what a cacao-percentage label does not reveal and how fat bloom forms after a bar warms and cools. The club says it favors ethically made dark chocolate and small makers, while treating those preferences as guidance rather than rules. Its next gathering has no date listed.
