Welcome to Day #14 of Chocolate and Dates Theme Week(s).
Today's "A Special Date" bar was created by Gnosis Chocolate (Astoria, NYC, NY).
Aroma notes for this bar included: rich dark chocolate and faint dried fruit (date).
Texture: Smooth, creamy dark chocolate. (The whole bar was smooth; there was no date texture or any faint date sugar crystal graininess.)
Flavor notes included: tasty dark chocolate (dark chocolate torte) with subtly complex fruit (date).
Today's bar was one of my favorite date + chocolate blends this week. My two favorites were crafted with the fewest ingredients: just dark chocolate and dates. It's led me to believe that perhaps this is one of those combinations that works fairly well and doesn't necessarily benefit from additional company.
I enjoyed the sweet, satisfying flavor of this chocolate. And the fact that it was made (with love) and just two, organic ingredients. Thank you to chocolate girl--aka gnosis chocolate maker Vanessa Barg.
Ingredients: 70% raw cacao beans*, ground dates*, Love (* = organic)
