Welcome to Day #4 of Unique Chocolates Week.
Today's Hot Salted Sriracha Chocolate - 70% Dark Chocolate (bar) was owned and distributed by Emerald City Foods (Seattle, WA).
Aroma and flavor notes for this sriracha and sea salt bar included dark chocolate (deep cocoa), faint umami, salt, and subtle spicy heat; vanilla; and very faint, balanced sauce-y vinegar/sriracha sauce.
The bar broke with a well-tempered snap, and the texture was smooth and relatively creamy.
Surprisingly, these flavors harmonized fairly well together. (Although I usually prefer darker chocolates, I I enjoyed the 55% cacao version of this bar (from the same company, tasted a few months ago) a little better than today's 70% version. (The sriracha and salt was easier to taste in the 55% version.) But, I enjoyed tasting both.
