***************************************************************************

Vegetotherapy refers to Wilhelm Reich's practice that works on emotions with everything from tickling massage to, of course, the Orgone Generator.

Orgone derived from "organism" & "orgasm" – a cosmic energy, perhaps even God.

This pair of bars from Deutschland are polar opposites: one a mere organism, the other a near orgasm.

Quality   13.7 / 20
Panama 92:
Maxi Wax (an almost 2-to-1 fat to mass ratio; see the Barithmetic below)… just as well since Panamanian cacáo lacks. Nonetheless a grueling bitterness bites thru the butter. Made with 8% coconut "blossom" sweetener. Please, stop the sugar fraud.

This site receives & gifts a lot of chocolate so trust this: an embarrassment to even give it away.

INGREDIENTS: cocoa mass, cocoa butter, sugar, Barithmetic (Cocoa mass / Butter / Sugar ratio): ~4:8:1

Weisse Vanille
Batch L214202
Distinct umami point, probably powered by the milk powder, offsets the cloying quality for a top-flight White in an anecdote to Vivani's Panama (above). Streamline yet buttressed by judicious use of both bourbon vanilla & raw cane sugar which imparts its own subtle flavor to add back the vacancies created by a deodorized cocoa butter.

INGREDIENTS: cocoa butter, whole milk powder (40%), raw sugar, vanilla
