Welcome to Day #4 of Chocolate and Salt Theme Week.
Today's 70% Dark Chocolate with Cacao Nibs and Alaska Pure Sea Salt (bar) was from Farmhouse Chocolates (Bristol, VT).
Aroma notes for this bar included: smooth, flavorful dark chocolate with very faint (barely detectable) balanced earth (peat, cacao nibs ); floral (incense); and diffuse red fruit (berry, red apple).
This bar broke with a satisfying (well-tempered) snap, and had a blended texture: smooth dark chocolate + soft crunchy (nibs).
Flavor notes included: true chocolate (cacao nibs, smooth dark chocolate), and light sparkles of sea salt.
What I liked: 1.) the sweetness level, i.e. it was not too sweet; 2.) quality (house-roasted) cacao nibs; 3.) balanced chocolate complexity with a dose of tiny, squareish, flake-patterned (Alaska) sea salt crystals.
