Welcome to Day #15 of Chocolate and Peru Theme Week.

Today's organic Marana Craft Chocolate San Martin Peru 70% Dark Chocolate bar was manufactured by Cacao Valley E.I.R.L.

This bar had a slightly green and fruity aroma, complex fruit flavor with a tiny hint of black pepper in one bite, a slight uptick in (balanced) fruit sour notes about 2/3 way through, followed by a smooth, fruitiness and a very slight astringent finish. Fun ride.
