Welcome to Day #9 of Chocolate and Hawaii Theme Week.
Today's 55% Dark Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts from Lydgate Farms (Kapa'a, HI) were manufactured for Lydgate by Feve Chocolates (San Francisco, CA).
Aroma notes included: chocolate (dark ganache) and sweet nut (cashew shortbread cookie).
The texture was a blend of softly crunchy macadamia nuts covered with a smooth, creamy dark chocolate.
The chocolate covering was just thick enough to add flavor, depth and chocolate richness, but not so thick that it prevented the subtler sugar, light caramel, vanilla, salt and macadamia nut flavor notes to shine.
I really enjoyed these well-executed, well-balanced, flavorful and slightly addictive Hawaiian cacao and macadamia nut confections. Definitely a cut above what you'll usually find in stores.
Ingredients: Hawaiian macadamia nuts, dark chocolate (Hawaiian cacao beans, cane sugar, cocoa butter, sunflower lecithin, vanilla beans), sugar, salt, cocoa butter, cocoa powder
Allergen-related information: Contains tree nuts (macadamia).
