Welcome to Day #8 of Chocolate and Ecuador Theme Week.
Today's Ecuador Hacienda Victoria 75% (bar) was from Cacao Space (Los Altos (pick-up location), CA). Chocolate maker, Ksenia Arapova, specializes in a variety of single origin cacao-based bars, including some with flavor inclusions.
Aroma notes included: dark chocolate, spice(s); very faint sweet-tart green; faint roasted/wood; black licorice; and very faint, fleeting coconut biscuit/cookie.
Texture: thick, buttery, smooth.
Flavor notes included: dark chocolate (dark cocoa, dark fudge), botanicals (roasted greens/wood/nut); black licorice; and faint coconut cookie.
I enjoyed the complexity (rich and unique aroma and flavor notes) in this chocolate bar.
Ingredients: cacao nibs, organic coconut sugar
Maker's notes: "Handcrafted, stone ground, refined sugar free, plant based"
Allergen-related information: None listed.
