Chocolate of the Day:
3/4 bar
Trader Joe's
The Dark Chocolate Lover's Chocolate Bar - 85% Cacao (Columbia)
Very Good +
Weight: 1.31 oz. (37.5 g.) = 3/4 of 1 (1.75 oz.) bar/ 3.5 oz. (100g) in total package of 2 bars
Calories: 189 calories (estimate) 3/4 of 1 bar
Cost: $1.49 for package of 2 bars
Purchased from: Trader Joe's, in Menlo Park, CA
Today was Day #5 of Chocolate and Single Origin Theme Week.
It's hard to beat Trader Joe's for interesting single origin chocolate bars, offered at a reasonable price. What a great South American chocolate geography lesson this week has been. After exploring chocolates from Ecuador for the past few days, I moved over to Columbia today. This Trader Joe's 85% cacao dark bar -- advertised as "smooth and fruity" (with a light, pleasant root beer-like note at the beginning I'd add) -- came from the Tumaco (Pacific Coastal) Region of Columbia.

This bar is amazing. I just bit into one for the first time and thought of you, and just HAD to see if you blogged about it. Of course you have!
