Welcome to Chocolate, Fruit and Botanicals Month.

Today's 72% Organic Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt and Orange Zest bar was from Salazon Chocolate Co. (Eldersburg, MD).

Like other Salazon chocolate bars, the single origin chocolate was made from "fermented and sun-dried Hispaniola cacao beans" from the Dominican Republic, and the sea salt and other flavors were very well balanced and "clean" with no off flavors.

The Organic, Fair Trade chocolate bar had a generous and uniform confetti made of orange zest pressed into the back, and a relief type world map on the front.

Thank you to Laura for the tasting help.
