I don't know if mine is roasted or not :-S

It's the Green & Blacks stuff, if anyone knows.

As for a test, well after all this talk about cocoa products, I just  
decided I wanted a bit of chocolate and didn't want to wait a week to  
get some delivered.  My mum had some in I bought her about 18 months  
ago.  It was 88% cocoa, so far too bitter for her and a bit on the  
sweet side for me.  I reckon I've swallowed at least 8 grams of sugar  
(I haven't eaten ANY sugar in 3 years!) and god only knows how much  
soya lecithin, so if I don't reply to any posts after tonight, you  
know what happened to me...
