The 85% Lindt (which I also keep in stock) is mainly for raw baking
ingredient and for sharp chocolate accents on top of food (thin shavings,
curls, etc.) where the essence of chocolate acts in a sharp contrast to the
food. A good example of this is a coconut custard with a dollop of
chantilly cream on top, finished by a few thin curls of 85% cocoa chocolate.
If you used a sweet chocolate for the curls rather than a sharp bittersweet
then it would get "lost" on your tongue.
Lindt also makes a 70% (71%?) cocoa content dark, but I don't use it. I
keep the 85% in stock as a raw ingredient, then add sugar content as needed
to bring it up to spec for whatever I'm making. It's better to have the
control yourself. The only exception would be if you're not comfortable
tempering your own mixture.
I would suggest that you start with the 51% cocoa content "Excellence" dark
bar. It's in a white wrapper with silver writing. You can eat it straight
if you like a sharp bittersweet, and it's also fine for making a mousse if
you use a really good quality (low moisture) unsalted butter.
It's funny that this subject came up now, because I'm going to be making
batches of my handmade Grand Marnier, Chambord, Amaretto, and Cassis
truffles very soon, so this is all very much on my mind.
If you want to talk in person about this then please feel free to call me at
