Welcome to Day #6 of Chocolate and Bolivia Week.
Today's Single Source Bolivia (Beni River) 68% drinking chocolate was from L.A. Burdick (Walpole, NH). The company offers a variety of chocolates, including chocolate mice, and single origin (bars and drinking) chocolates.
Aroma notes for today's Bolivia drinking chocolate included: dark chocolate with very faint grain, pickled/fermented sweet pepper and black pepper; and (I must have been imagining this) barely detectable grilled cheese on a corn tortilla.
After adding water, microwaving for 30 seconds, and using the whisk that was included, the mix quickly dissolved into a smooth, rich, velvety, warm drinking chocolate. The texture was very pleasing. (I added less water for a thicker drinking chocolate with less diluted flavor.)
Flavor notes included: rich, nuanced drinking chocolate with very faint pepper. It was sweet without being too sweet, and balanced (not too acidic).
I really appreciated the small metal whisk that was included; it created a smoother texture and enhanced the tasting experience. And I enjoyed the relatively smooth, but lightly complex chocolate-y flavor.
Maker's notes: "Grapefruit and floral notes mingle with roasted nuts and give way to a smooth finish."
Ingredients: "Dark chocolate (Cocoa, cocoa butter, sugar, sunflower lecithin, soy lecithin, vanilla bean)"
Allergen-related information: Contains soy. Gluten free (made in a gluten free kitchen). "Our chocolates are crafted in a kitchen where milk, eggs, tree nuts, soy, and sesame are present."
