Welcome to Day #6 of Chocolate and Hispaniola Theme Weeks, focusing this week on the Dominican Republic side of the island.

Today's Dark + Salt - 70% Cacao Dominican Republic Single Origin (bar) was produced by Wm. Chocolate LLC (Madison, WI). 

Aroma and flavor notes for this nuanced and complex chocolate included: chocolate brownie, pleasing, sweet earth and shimmering faint fruit (raisin, red berry, sweet orange, fig), light savory (subtle buttered nuts), molasses, faint green tea syrup, and very faint, and a fleeting aromatic (sweet, faint floral fruit) tobacco and faint toffee. 

Tiny crystals of salt (harvested in the U.S.) added an occasional flavor sparkle and crunchy texture.

Summary: This chocolate was well balanced with subtle, layered aroma and flavor. The shifting array of subtle cacao flavors included a judicious overlay of savory with the naturally sweet.

Ingredients: Organic cacao beans, organic unrefined cane sugar, organic cacao butter, sea salt

Allergen-related information: "No soy, dairy, grain, nuts, refined sugar, or animal products."
