Welcome to Day #8 of Chocolate Surprise Theme Week. Today's chocolate was a pleasant surprise, because of where I found them--in the middle of downtown San Francisco in a relatively new retail store.

These Organic 83% Dark Chocolate Enrobed Mangos were manufactured in a designated gluten and nut free facility, packed by Earth Source, Inc. (Vista, CA), and distributed by Sweetduet, LLC (Los Angeles,  CA). 

Aroma notes included: fermented cacao/sweet dark chocolate, dried fruit (mango), molasses fig/date cookie and very faint sweet, green floral-banana. (These did not contain any banana.)

The dark chocolate tasted surprisingly dark with a creamy texture and balanced bitterness. (I'd forgotten it was 83% cacao chocolate when I took the first bite.)

This ultra-dark chocolate offered a strong, but complementary, contrast to the pieces of fruit it covered. Inside the chocolate coating were chewy, tart-sweet dried strips of mango with bright tropical fruit and green tea flavor notes.

This bold and flavorful blend had lingering mango fruit and dark chocolate finish notes.

Ingredients: "Organic Mango, Organic Cacao, Organic Cacao Butter, Organic Date Nectar."

Allergen-related information: "Manufactured in a designated gluten and nut free facility."
