Rarity
5/5
Very rare: tiny batches, foraged or one of a kind How we score

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.

  1. 1 Familiar twist: easy to find, unusual flavour
  2. 2 Specialty: good grocers and online
  3. 3 Uncommon: mostly from the maker or specialty shops
  4. 4 Rare: small-batch, regional or few stockists
  5. 5 Very rare: tiny batches, foraged or one of a kind

What it tastes like

Expect bittersweet dark chocolate giving way to a sweet, herbal, betel-leaf centre with the usual meetha paan perfume.

Why it’s rare

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.
