Welcome to Day #7 of Chocolate and Orange Week.

Today's Bon-fiction "Lost in an Orange Haze" 64% dark chocolate, candied orange peel and cinnamon (bar) was made from tree-to-bar in India, and imported and distributed by Godavari Chocolate Inc. (Folsom, CA).

The cacao used to make this bar was "hand-picked from farms in the Godavari region of Southern India."

Aroma and flavor notes for this single origin bar included: rich chocolate orange spiced cake/cookie. There was also a very faint (barely detectable) slightly savory freshly baked bread with butter aroma note(s) in the very beginning, that faded after taking a bite--when the chocolate and orange took center stage.

The texture was smooth and buttery/creamy. (It did not contain milk.) The finely diced pieces of candied orange peel were well executed and very complementary to the chocolate flavors. I also enjoyed the cinnamon--that added a subtle, warm spice note.

Ingredients: Cocoa Beans, Organic Cane Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Candied Orange Peels, Cinnamon

Allergen-related information: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes: Milk, Peanuts, Almond, Cashew, Walnut, Coconut, Hazelnut, Pistachio."
