Welcome to Day #3 of Chocolate and Dominican Republic Theme Week.
Today's Organic 80% Dominican Republic (bar) was from Ethereal Chocolate (Woodstock, IL).
Aroma and flavor notes for this 80% cacao bar were almost the same and included: dark chocolate, red fruit (berry, cherry, red apple), wood (cedar) and faint nut.
The single origin, two-ingredient chocolate had an enjoyable aroma and flavor, and a relatively granular texture/astringency over the last two-thirds of each bite.
This ultra-dark chocolate was well-balanced, with relatively low bitterness and a sophisticated, natural fruit sweetness/brightness for an 80%er. The fruit acidity was not too strong, and the sweetness level was good (not too sweet, not too bitter).
Maker's tasting notes: ..."cherry, fig, and citrus"
Ingredients: Cocoa beans*, cane sugar* (* Organic)
Allergen-related information: "Made on shared equipment with peanuts and tree nuts."
