Welcome to Day #9 of Chocolate and Orange Theme Week; Day #1 of Chocolate and Bolivia Theme Week.
Today's Citrus Almond Mendiants were from Cacao & Cardamom (Houston, TX).
The cacao in the 68% dark chocolate used to make these attractive, hexagon-shaped and fruit and nut-topped tiles (mendiants) was from Bolivia.
Aroma and flavor notes included: bittersweet dark chocolate, flavorful and tasty, tart-sweet, candied Iyokan orange citrus peels, and impossibly thin, softly crunchy slivered Marcona almonds.
The Iyokan orange (similar in appearance to a mandarin orange) is a popular variety in Japan. Its appealing, fresh-tasting, sweet tartness made this my favorite item in this classy, three-ingredient confection.
Ingredients: 68% Bolivia Chocolate, Iyokan Citrus, Marcona Almonds
Allergen-related information: Contained nuts (almonds). (No other information was listed on this small container.)
