Welcome to Day #8 of Chocolate and Orange Theme Week.
Today's Bittersweet Chocolate with Orange Zest 01 (bar) was from Antica Dolceria Bonajuto S.r.l. (Modica, Italy).
Aroma and flavor notes for this Italian chocolate included: bittersweet dark chocolate; faint herbal spice (licorice); subtle citrus (orange); and honeycomb.
The texture in this relatively smooth chocolate with a stoneground-like texture actually seemed to come more from the sugar.
The very subtle orange zest was very finely ground--perhaps into glistening, visible sugar crystals and incorporated into the bittersweet dark chocolate.
I liked the flavor blend, the interesting complexity, that it didn't seem too sweet, and that there were just three ingredients (thank you).
Ingredients: "cocoa mass, cane sugar, orange zest"
Allergen-related information: "May contain almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios and milk"
