Welcome to Day #6 of Scandinavian Chocolate Theme Week.
Today's White Chocolate Blackcurrant Pie and 45% Milk Nibs and Oak Smoked Chocolate bars were created by Fjak Sjokolade (Eidfjord, Norway) on the Hardangerfjord.
The company produces small-batch, bean-to-bar chocolate. They offer a variety of bars, as well as a few confections and drinking chocolate options.
Blackcurrant Pie
Aroma and flavor notes for this pie-inspired, white chocolate bar included: oats, nuts, and bright sweet berry.
The texture was a satisfying blend of creamy (almost buttery), scarlet-hued berry (blackcurrant infused white chocolate) and crunchy oat and nut ("pie crust") bits. It was berry-sweet, but not overly so (thank you!).
This Nordic bar was well-balanced, with a natural, tart-sweetness and authentic-tasting fruit and crust elements.
Ingredients: Cocoa butter* cane sugar*, milk powder*, blackcurrant*, gluten free oats*, gluten free almonds*, and honey.* (* Organic)
Allergen-related information: Contains milk.
45% Milk Nibs and Oak Smoked Salt
Aroma notes for this dark milk chocolate included: dark milk chocolate, subtle smoked wood, caramel, and very faint savory, nut/seed.
The texture was a blend of creamy (milk chocolate) and crunchy (cacao nibs).
Flavor notes included: sweet (45%) milk chocolate, tiny bits of crunchy cacao nibs and salt, and very faint smoked spice (salt, black pepper).
Ingredients: Cocoa beans, cane sugar*, milk powder*, cocoa butter*, cacao nibs* and oak smoked salt.
Allergen-related information: Contains milk.
