Welcome to Day #8 of Chocolate and India Theme Week.Today's 70% Dark Chocolate Anamalai (India) bar was from Solstice Chocolate (Salt Lake City, UT).
This bar had a stronger fruit aroma and flavor than other bars made with cacao from Anamalai* featured this week.
The aroma of today's 70% dark bar had dried fruit (golden raisins, goji berries) and very faint spice notes. The bar broke with a hard snap; and the melt and texture were smooth.
The flavor had strong fruit notes (tangy red raspberries, passion fruit) and a faint hint of of acetic acid (fruit vinegar), followed by light black pepper and spice.
The packaging was attractive and unique in that it was also a re-sealable pouch.
*Anamalai is a cacao, coconut and nutmeg farm in southern India.
