Welcome to Day #10 of Chocolate and Mint Theme Week.
Today's 67% Cacao Mint Crunch Organic Dark Chocolate (bar) was produced in Switzerland and distributed by Equal Exchange (San Francisco, CA).
Aroma notes for this 67% Peruvian cacao-based bar included: dark chocolate and peppermint.
The texture was smooth, with a relatively creamy base chocolate and some sparkles of mint.
Flavor notes included: dark chocolate and peppermint. I liked that the peppermint wasn't totally overwhelming. And the chocolate was relatively bold, but well executed. Overall, it tasted a little better than I expected. (It wasn't a mint bomb.)
Happily, the sweetness level and the mint flavoring were both just about right.
