Welcome to Day #12 of Chocolate and Colombia Theme Week, and Day #2 of Chocolate and Coffee Theme Week--that includes chocolates with coffee flavor inclusions, and (in today's case) a bar with coffee notes.
Today's Colombia Arauca 75% (bar) was from Cacao Space (Los Altos, CA). The maker is focusing on handcrafted, stone ground, refined sugar free, and plant-based chocolates.
I really enjoyed the pleasing and satisfying aroma and flavor notes in this two-ingredient dark chocolate. Notes included: smooth dark chocolate (that was naturally sweet, fragrant, and very balanced/low acidity and bitterness); warm spice (gingerbread); and very faint coffee latte.
The organic coconut sugar likely contributed to the faint warm spice and latte notes.
Texture: smooth, even texture and melt.
Ingredients: cacao nibs, organic coconut sugar.
Allergen-related information: (None listed on wrapper.)
