Welcome to Day #3 of Chocolate and Uganda Theme Week.
Today's 55% Uganda Butter (Mountains of the Moon) (bar) was from/made by Puchero (Tostarix S.L.) (Valladolid, Spain).
This bean-to-bar chocolate made in Spain featured pasiega* cow butter. Aroma notes included: dairy butter and faint, integrated sweet chocolate. This butter was luscious and decadent although it did mute some of the single origin (Uganda) cacao nuances.
Texture: soft melt and very buttery mouthfeel and texture.
Flavor: Truly buttery chocolate. What high quality whipped butter with chocolate might taste like.
What a unique treat. And it was not too sweet. (Thank you!)
Maker's notes: "The chocolate combines the Ugandan cacao fruity smoothness with creamy Cantabrian cow butter."
Ingredients: cacao, sugar, butter, milk, salt; Cacao 55% minimum
Allergen-related information: "May contain traces of nuts, milk and gluten"
*Pasiega refers to a breed of red cattle found in the autonomous community of Cantabria in northern Spain. Their milk is used to make cheese and/or butter (usually without extra preservatives or coloring). Pasiega milk also used in quesada pasiega, a regional (Cantabria) cake (similar to a thick pudding or cheesecake) that is often flavored with lemon and cinnamon.
