Welcome to Day #7 of Chocolate and Colombia Theme Week.
Today's 70% Trinitario Colombia (bar) was from Domori S.p.A (None (TO) Italy).
Aroma notes included: strong dark chocolate with slight loam/soil/peat notes.
This dark chocolate had an even, smooth texture and melt; and it was surprisingly low astringency given the strong aroma and initial flavor.
Flavor notes included: strong--but balanced, well-managed and executed dark chocolate. It had peat (and almost but not quite smoky/umami)--notes; however, it was quite good. It was much better than expected, given the initial aroma after the sealed, inner packaging was opened.
I liked the short list of (two) ingredients, and the natural sweetness that emerged from what tasted more like an 80%+ dark chocolate than a 70% cacao dark bar.
Maker's tasting notes: "Notes of cashew nuts and honey. Extraordinary sweetness and persistence."
Ingredients: Cocoa mass, cane sugar
