Welcome to Day #9 of Chocolate, Dominican Republic (D.R.) and Haiti Theme Weeks.

Today's small bar was from Definite Chocolate, S.R.L. (Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic).

This chocolate had a smooth melt and texture, and an aroma with chocolate, spice, faint green (floral), and light loamy notes. The flavor notes included: brown sugar, dark roasted cacao, and faint, fleeting nutty and acidic fruit (citrus). 

This was surprisingly "sweet" for an ultra-dark chocolate, in part due to the Trinitario--flavorful but ("less dense/dark") cacao variety (than, say Forastero cacao)--and Oko Caribe's great cacao fermentation/processing skills in the D.R.

Tasting notes provided for this bar read as follows: "...notes of jasmine, chamomile and lemon."

Ingredients: Organic cacao beans, cane sugar
