Welcome to Day #1 of Dark Chocolate Theme Week. This week features 60% to 90% cacao dark chocolate bars--made with blends of cacao beans, or with no origin specified.
Today's 85% Dark Chocolate bar was made in Spain by Chocolates Simon Coll S.A. (Sant Sadurni d'Anoia, Barcelona, Spain). The company's chocolate-making roots stretch back several generations to 1840. (The company also acquired the historic Spanish Chocolate Amatller brand in 1972.)
The aroma and flavor notes in today's ultra-dark, gluten-free chocolate bar included: green; fresh ripe banana and light molasses/brown sugar spice (banana licuado); nut (walnut); and a balanced, slightly green, bittersweet dark chocolate (earthy fudge brownie).
This chocolate was relatively smooth/uniform in texture and flavor, yet managed to have satisfying complexity.
Ingredients: Cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, fat reduced cocoa powder, emulsifier (soya lecithin) and flavouring (vanilla). Cocoa solids 85%.
Allergen-related information: "Contains soy. May contain traces of milk, hazelnuts, walnuts and almonds."
