Welcome to Day #6 of Chocolate and Indonesia Theme Week.
Today's Indonesia Java Milk 65% (bar) was from Bonnat Chocolatier (aka Chocolat Bonnat), based in Voiron, Isere, France. The company has been making chocolate for almost 140 years.
The cacao used to make this bar was from Java (a large island in the Indonesian archipelago), located west of Bali and south of Borneo.
Aroma notes for this bar included: bold dark chocolate and cream of rice cereal with milk, sugar and butter.
This well-tempered bar broke with a hard snap, and had a satisfying, creamy, buttery texture.
Flavor notes included: dark chocolate, faint grain/cereal, and very faint brown bread. The choice of a bit more cocoa butter, sugar and milk (65% cacao vs. 70% cacao dark chocolate) seemed like a good choice. The cacao was fairly bold, and seemed well managed in this bar.
Ingredients: Cocoa (Indonesie), cocoa butter, sugar, milk powder; 65% cocoa minimum.
Allergen-related information: Contains milk.
