Welcome to Day #1 of Chocolate and Lime Week, including different varieties and components of limes blended with chocolate.
Today's Brown Sugar & Lime 60% dark chocolate (bar) was from Mission Chocolate (Sao Paolo, Brazil).
Aroma notes included: "warm", faintly fruity dark chocolate; light, almost floral citrus (lime blossom + lime juice); faint brown sugar; and (almost undetectable) refreshing, clean mineral water.
Texture: This thin bar (thank you) broke with a well-tempered snap and the texture was relatively smooth, with a tiny bit of fruit/citrus astringency.
The cacao, lime and brown sugar flavors were well-executed and balanced. It was sweet, but not overly so (thank you).
There was a very pleasant lilting quality when the flavors unfolded, then undulated a little over the course of tasting this chocolate; and the finish was long and subtle.
This gently animated complexity (chocolate magic) was elicited from a short list of four, high-quality ingredients.
Ingredients: "cacao, organic dark brown sugar, cocoa butter, lime."
