Welcome to Day #3 of Chocolate and Spices Theme Week.
Today's Cola Carbonated Dark Chocolate 65% (bar) was from Chocolate Naive (Vilnius, Lithuania).
Aroma notes for this Limited Edition bar included: chocolate with warm spices (cinnamon, cola); high-end, cola-flavored chocolate cake/torte.
Texture: rich and very creamy with a light smattering of tiny, crunchy flecks (probably popping candy to give the chocolate a carbonated taste and mouthfeel). A texture this creamy normally contains whole milk powder/butter. (It did not.)
This rich chocolate was infused with the essence of a cinnamon-forward, sweet and spicy satisfying cola soft drink with faint caramel, vanilla and citrus/lemon notes. It was a refreshing bar that perfectly evoked childhood memories--of sipping an iced cold cola on a hot day.
Warning: mildly addictive. I wanted to share this unique chocolate with others. However, when I looked down, I'd already eaten the whole bar.
