Welcome to Day #3 of Chocolate and Banana Theme Week.
Today's Mai'a Banana Dark Chocolate 70% (bar) was made by Manoa Chocolate (Kailua (Oahu), Hawaii), and was part of a "Flavors of Hawaii" Collection. (I will be featuring the Haupia coconut 60% bar from this 3-bar set in the near future.)
This dark chocolate had an aroma with green chocolate, green banana and sugar cane notes.
The well-tempered bar broke with a snap and had a creamy melt and mouthfeel.
The flavor was very similar to the aroma notes mentioned above, with luxe 70% dark chocolate flavor and authentic green (banana) notes; a natural sweetness (organic cane sugar, freeze-dried banana powder); and a lightly perfumed banana floral finish.
Manoa (a Hawaiian word that translates to mean "solid, vast, depth") suggestions for beverage pairings read as follows: wine: beaujolais; liquor: rye whiskey; beer: nitro stout.
Ingredients: Cacao, organic sugar, organic cocoa butter, freeze-dried banana powder
