ChocolateBet: March 5, 2007

Chocolate of the Day:

Nacional de Chocolates
Dark Chocolate Santander (Columbian single origin) bar with passion fruit
Very Good
Weight: I ate 1/4 bar / 2.29 oz. (65 g.) total bar
Calories: 63 calories/290 calories total (per package - sounds low, but OK...)

I enjoyed this dark chocolate (70% cacao from Colombia) bar with bits of tropical fruit bits ("natural passion fruit extract"). The passion fruit (or maracuya) was also from Colombia. Both cacao and maracuya have a long history in this area of South America.

The Chocolate Santander bar was made in Colombia by Nacional de Chocolates (established in 1920), and the company's bars are GMO free, and "Fairly Traded with small farmers from our country."
