Welcome to Day #8 of Chocolate and Flowers Theme Week.
Today's Lavender Milk Chocolate 40% cocoa (bar) from Leith Chocolate EU (Belfast/South Queensferry, Scotland) was made in Scotland.
The company takes their name from the once bustling sea port of Leith that once the gateway to Scotland. The port neighborhood has more recently become a creative hub, home to several artisan makers creating goods for export.
Leith Chocolate sources cacao from South America to make their line of chocolates. And the cacao origin for today's bar was Colombia.
Aroma notes included: milk chocolate, lavender and warm vanilla.
This smooth, creamy bar kept it simple with three primary well-blended flavors: sweet milk chocolate, lavender and vanilla, that all harmonized very nicely.
It was hard to taste cacao flavor nuances due to a relatively high percentage of sugar (and milk). While a bit sweet for me, I enjoyed the authentic lavender (and mellow vanilla) floral flavors.
This Leith chocolate would be a great choice if you fancy flower flavors and have a milk chocolate sweet tooth.
Ingredients: Milk chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa liquor, milk powder, emulsifier, non-GMO soy lecithin, natural vanilla extract), lavender oil. Cocoa solids. 40% minimum.
Allergen-related information: Made in a factory that handles dairy, peanuts, soy and tree nuts.
