Welcome to Day #2 of Chocolate and Salt Theme Week.

This dark chocolate broke with a soft snap and was suffused with the natural aroma and flavor of lavender. Instead of sugar, the organic bar was sweetened with a hint of maple. As the chocolate melted in my mouth, I tasted no off or sharp flavors in the chocolate. The cacao had been minimally processed (as close to raw as possible). Lavender was the dominant flavor.
I liked the fact that the two founders, Bennett and Ky, chose to use local sea salt** from the Martha's Vineyard area.
*210 calories for 1/2 bar (per label). This sounds high, unless there's lots of cocoa butter.
**I have wanted to make some chocolates with local San Francisco Bay salt, but it's hard to find a good source. (The San Francisco Bay Area was once home to dozens of salt-making companies.)
