Rarity is our editors’ score for how hard something is to find in the US and how unusual it is to make: availability (supermarket, specialty shop or maker only), production (small-batch, seasonal, foraged) and how unusual the ingredient or method is.
Expect bittersweet dark chocolate giving way to a sweet, herbal, betel-leaf centre with the usual meetha paan perfume.
Instead of a paan flavouring, the bar holds a centre of actual Calcutta meetha paan. The makers are a paan brand rather than a chocolatier.
