Welcome to Day #9 of Chocolate and Bolivia Theme Week.
Today's Loon Chocolate 70% Heirloom Bolivia (Batch 924-34) bar was manufactured by White Birch Living LLC (Manchester, NH).
Aroma and flavor notes for this Bolivia bar included: dark chocolate (chocolate-y, dark ganache), fleeting tangy/acidic fruit (dried fruit: cherry, nectarine, raisin), faint earth and very faint oxalis.
I appreciated the short list of (three) ingredients; the maker's choice of organic cane sugar and organic heirloom cacao (that seemed naturally sweet); and fleeting complexity--that included some tangy fruit.
The makers at Loon Chocolate, like many other small batch, bean-to-bar chocolate makers, work to showcase the range of unique and special, often nuanced, flavors present in cacao. And I feel grateful for their dedication.
