Welcome to Day #5 of Chocolate and Virtual Caribbean Cruise Theme Week.
This Trinidad Garcia Estate 72% dark chocolate (bar) was from White Label Chocolate (Santa Cruz/Watsonville, CA).
This cacao was grown on the Garcia Estate in Trinidad--sourced from producer Joseph Garcia. (The cacao was harvested in the 2019 season, fermented for six days inside wooden fermentation boxes, and dried for 8 days using raised beds.)
Aroma and flavor notes for this smooth, even-textured bar included: dark chocolate (dark ganache), herb/spice (very faint star anise), very faint botanical/floral (vanilla-tobacco).
This bar had a natural sweetness to it and an interesting, balanced and subtle complexity.
Maker's tasting notes: "Nutty, Sweet, Tabacco, Floral"
Ingredients: Cacao Beans, Organic Sugar, Organic Cocoa Butter
Allergen-related information: (none listed)
