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

Today's La Dalia, Nicaragua 72% Dark Chocolate (bar) was from Cru Chocolate (Roseville, CA)—a perfect chocolate to accompany a day trip to Yosemite National Park, a few hours drive from Roseville.

This bar had a chocolate aroma with a slight savory note. It had a creamy melt and texture with an almost fudge-y chew. The well balanced chocolate flavor was smooth and dense with very faint nut and fruit notes, and smooth, well balanced bitterness. It was satisfying without being too sweet (thank you!).

Definitely a bar I'd like to try again.
