Welcome to Day #4 of Chocolate and Flowers Theme Week.
Today's Violet Milk - 50% Milk Chocolate (bar) was from Ocelot Craft Chocolate Limited (Dundee, UK), and Imported by Original Beans BV (Amsterdam, NL).
While not specifically written on the package, I believe the cacao used to make this bar was an Amelonado cacao from a women's cooperative (Femme de Virunga) in Eastern Congo, and that Organic Swiss milk was used.
Aroma notes included: dark milk chocolate, fruit (red raspberry), and candied floral.
Texture: appealing smooth and creamy texture with a very faint astringency/graininess toward the end.
Flavor notes included: rich, sweet, dark (robust but smooth, maybe with some very faint earth) milk chocolate, fruit (red berry, raspberry) with subtle floral.
This dark milk chocolate was hearty and naturally sweet and floral, with a fun, uplifting red berry note as well.
Ingredients: cacao mass*, raw cane sugar*, cacao butter*, whole milk powder*, natural violet flavour* (<1%). Milk solids: 15% minimum, cacao solids: 50% minimum. (* = Certified organic)
Allergen-related information: Contains Milk. "May contain almonds and hazelnuts."
