Viejo Oso White Chocolate Bar

Viejo Oso, White Chocolate Bar Buenos Aires, Argentina Wow! Extremely good, especially considering this comes from Argentina. It’s not too sweet, which is always a concern with white chocolates, although the sweetness does pick up as you savor the chocolate in your mouth. It’s just very creamy, very milky, and it’s very...

Vasalissa Milk Chocolate with Almond Bar

Vasalissa, Milk Chocolate with Almond Bar Buenos Aires, Argentina US$7.50 Overall Score: 4.0/5.0, but 3.0/5.0 for value. Actually, quite a good milk chocolate bar, in comparison to most in Argentine. Very rich, very pure, greatly tempered, and very good melt. It’s also flavorful and creamy. Almond pieces add lots of flavor and...

Viejo Oso Milk Chocolate Bar

Viejo Oso, Milk Chocolate Bar Buenos Aires, Argentina Viejo Oso does an excellent job with this chocolate. It’s not as good as the white chocolate, but it has a great level of sweetness and rather nice texture. It melts great too—in fact, it melts on the touch and even when you unwrap it if you apply too much pressure. It’s...

Aguila Mousse Limon Chocolate Bar

Aguila Mousse Limon Milk Chocolate Bar filled with Lemon Mousse Argentina Overall Score: 3.3/5.0 for a cheap, commercial chocolate. First thought—delicious! Really smooth in the mouth and very creamy and rich. It is too much on the sweet side (it’s a commercial, non-artisanal chocolate after all), but it’s a nice, sugary fix....

Vasalissa Truffles/Domes

Vasalissa Callao 1940, Buenos Aires, Argentina Also at 3 other locations in Buenos Aires Vasalissa imports all of its chocolates straight from Belgium, so it has a much more European feel to it than the other chocolate brands, although for that feel it also charges at least three times as much. I paid higher prices for this...

Viejo Oso Truffles/Bonbons

Viejo Oso La Pampa 2120, Belgrano, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Also at: Montevideo 1594, Barrio Monk, Buenos Aires, Argentina Overall, way better than most chocolate in Argentina, rivaled only by the likes of Mamushka. There are interesting, unique flavors, but not at the cost of chocolate quality. Truffles are outstanding...

Abuela Goye

Abuela Goye Mitre 258, Bariloche, Argentina Also in Buenos Aires Great milk chocolate and second only to Mamushka and Viejo Oso in that department. Milk chocolate is almost flawless, and I would almost exclusively buy milk chocolate from this store, since the other types of chocolate tend to be horrible. This isn’t so much of a...

Cadbury Milk Chocolate Bar

Cadbury Milk Chocolate Bar As found in Argentina This chocolate bar was tasted in Argentina, so it might be an Argentine version. It’s a bit on the hard side. It’s also very rich, creamy, sugary, and sweet. It’s kind of cloying and certainly would be if I didn’t eat only 2 pieces of it. Nice melt, though, and it has a...

Abuela Goye White Chocolate Bar

Abuela Goye, White Chocolate Bar Buenos Aires and Bariloche, Argentina 20 Argentine pesos, or about $6. 2 for 30 pesos, or $10. It’s a nice bar, very finely tempered, and it’s as solid as a rock. You need to bite this one—it’s not going to melt on you. It does have a nice munch to it, though, with a sweetness that’s just...
