White on chocolate is bloom, that's the fats coming out to the surface. It generally means the chocolate is old or it's been stored poorly. It's not bad, just a sign of mishandling.
It sounds like it's just bitter chocolate with less sugar than normal. Might have been a regional thing, most chocolates you're going to find have way too much sugar in them.
Well this was spain in the franco days. But god damn I want that type again.

See if you can find someone shipping Pacari, try a couple of theirs. It’s really good. The 60% esmarelda single origin is my fav. Not a milk chocolate.
