Welcome to Day #6 of Chocolate and Vietnam Theme Week.

Today's Thien Tuy Dark Chocolate 75% bar had a creamy melt and smooth texture. The bar had all the bolder flavor (bright red fruit, light citrus, chocolate) of a darker chocolate, and the smoothness of a very dark milk bar.*

The makers at Belvie craft their bars using fair trade cacao beans (Trinitario), and make their chocolate "in the Belgian tradition."

Thien Tuy is in a mountainous region of the Lam Dong province, located in the Central Highlands region of southern Vietnam known for agriculture (coffee, tea and vegetables).

*This Thien Tuy cacao bar was gluten and dairy free and contained only two ingredients: cacao and cacao butter (75%) and cane sugar (25%).
