Bienvenidos a (Welcome to) Day #1 of Chocolate and Peru Theme Week.
Today's sample size chocolate square came taped to a Chocosphere business card as part of a chocolate order I'd placed with their site last month. These high-end chocolate squares (I also received a Venchi square recently) are a helpful way to sample new chocolates.

The small sample size was not big enough to re-taste* later. Happily, one can still get a lot of information in one or two small bites.
*Re-tasting a chocolate even only 1/2 hour later will often evoke different flavor notes, so I try to re-taste the Chocolate of the Day over the course of a morning.
