Welcome to Day #1 of Chocolate and Vanuatu Theme Week.

Today's Vanuatu 72% Cacao (bar) was from Vegan Chocolates by Luisa Ltd. (Nottingham, U.K.).

Aroma and flavor notes: dark chocolate (fresh baked fudge brownie) with diffuse, dried fruit (fig, berry, cherry); faint, fleeting oolong tea; and very faint sweet green, and light molasses/caramel notes. 

Texture: This very thick bar had a smooth, even and slightly creamy texture.

I loved the complexity, the fruit and tea notes and the rich chocolate that wasn't too sweet (thank you!) This Vanuatu bar was full of bright, well-balanced flavors; and it was a perfect warm up/wake up chocolate for a winter morning.

Maker's tasting notes: "Sweet cherry notes on the nose, with fruity nuances that mellow into toffee caramel end-notes."

Ingredients: Cacao mass, unrefined sugar, cocoa butter.

Allergen-related information: Made in an environment that handles nuts.
