Ernest Hemingway~ Theres absolutely nothing noble in becoming superior for your fellow men. True nobility is being superior for your former self.

Though every chocolate in the world gathers in Japan at this time of the Valentine’s day. I was strange that I did not watch some bar of Domori in Japan recently. And I was uneasy because the web site of Domori did not open out recently. However, I understood the reason in this news site. I am very disappointed. There are a lot of fans of Domori in Japan. I loved the Domori’s box of roasted cacao beans produced in defferent cacao field, this also will not be sold any more?

First, no, unfortunately, the Domori Vanilla chocolate bar is discontinued as well, permanently. We still do have more Domori Blacksal available at http://www.atthemeadow.com, though our supply is running low. Another bar you may want to try is the Il Cioccolato de Bruco (http://www.atthemeadow.com/chocolate/bruco.htm), which offers an excellent example of salted chocolate in the Italian style: silky, delicate, with just a subtle touch of salt that enhances the chocolate in unanticipated, delicious ways. The cool thing about this salted chocolate that the package contains 2 small bars, one with a Trapani sea salt that is fiery and spicy. The other is a Cervia sea salt, that is fruity and bubbly. This is TOTALLY different from the the Domori Blacksal’s super bold, macho density, but is lovely nonetheless. Alternately, you could try our own salted chocolates, which give you a 75% Sao Tome chocolate with six different types of sea sal. (This you can order by calling our shop at 503-388-4633) I’ll keep you posted on new salted chocolates, especially any that resemble Domori’s noble Blacksal.

oops have poked around the links a bit more (found this page from a search for blacksal after the chocosphere had none) please ignore last half of previous comment. Maybe I’ll retry the vosges barcelona bar, it’s been a while…
thanks,

I am so sorry to hear this! Do you know if Vanilla is out as well?
I stocked up on both when they were on sale at chocosphere and am now *sorely* regretting not buying more blacksal!!! It is truly exceptional.
Other salted chocolate doesn’t seem to measure up. I dislike Vosges because it seems like the ‘flavors’ overwhelm the chocolate (and am also vegetarian so no bacon chocolate for me!). Does anyone know of other (not super expensive) salted dark chocolate of similar quality to Domori? Please let us know!
Thanks,
-M

That is incredibly disappointing! As a good chocoholic, I was quite a fan of Domori’s Blacksal – at least they’re not gone entirely!

Must be tougher to compete now though, since everyone and their mother’s brother is now carrying quality dark chocolate. Did you hear that Target is now carrying Chocolove?!?! Only a few of their bars, but it will end up screwing the Chocolove brand in the long run (IMHO).
