Welcome to Day #5 of Chocolate and Sea Salt Theme Week.
Today's jcoco Mango Plantain 47% Cacao and Edamame Sea Salt 47% Cacao Peruvian milk chocolate bars were from Seattle Chocolate Company (Seattle, WA).*
Mango Plantain (bar)
Aroma notes included: sweet milk chocolate and subtle, diffuse tropical fruit(s).
Texture: chewy dried mango and crunchy bits of plantain chips in a creamy smooth milk chocolate base.
Flavor notes included: creamy, sweet milk chocolate and hints of dried tropical fruit (dried mango) and plantain chips. Subtle sea salt helped balance the sugar content of the 47% milk chocolate.
Edamame Sea Salt (bar)
Aroma: sweet milk chocolate with very faint, diffuse, aromatic and almost perfumed (tropical) fruit.
Texture: a blend of creamy milk chocolate and toasted edamame with a soft crunch.
Flavor notes included: sweet, creamy milk chocolate and salted, toasted edamame (young, more tender soybeans). The salt in the edamame provided a welcome counterbalance to the sugar/sweetness of the chocolate for me.
*The jcoco brand (created in 2012) and line of bars are part of Seattle Chocolate Company. A portion of the sales of jcoco bars go toward feeding people in need. (The company describes the jcoco line as: "Chocolate that feeds"...the farmer, your neighbor and yourself.)
