Welcome to Day #10 of Chocolate and Nuts Theme Week.

Today's Roasted Almond Dark Chocolate 60% cacao (bar) was from Sjaak's Organic Chocolates (Petaluma, CA). 

Aroma notes included: subtle dark chocolate and nuts, and faint honey cookie.

This relatively thick bar had smooth dark chocolate texture with small flecks of almonds.

Flavor notes included: dark chocolate (brownie), fleeting earth, mild and mellow nutty and faint wood notes.

This bar had bold, yet smooth dense dark flavor (walk through an old-growth forest) mellowed by subtle almond. 

And speaking of forests...today's bar (packaging) was adorned with illustrations of a person near in a redwood tree forest, and was being sold at the Presidio (National Park) in San Francisco. A suitable tribute to an iconic Northern California legacy.

Ingredients: Organic 60% chocolate (organic cane sugar; organic, Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa liquor; Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa butter), organic almonds, organic sunflower lecithin.

Allergen-related information: Contains nuts (almonds). "Vegan, Kosher and Non-GMO"
