Welcome to Day #5 of Chocolate and Lime Theme Week.
Today's Coconut Lime 73% Cacao Chocolate Bar was from The Chocolate Conspiracy (Salt Lake City, UT).
Aroma notes for this lime oil-infused bar included: smooth dark chocolate and lime shortbread cookie.
Texture: smooth chocolate with a creamy (honey) melt occasionally punctuated with gentle, tiny shreds of coconut.
Flavor notes included: relatively smooth dark chocolate, gently sweetened with honey, and a somewhat surprising bitterness that I attributed to the lime oil.
I like botanically bitter flavors (e.g. hops, 100% cacao), as long as they are balanced--often with salt/sugar. (Maybe more salt would have balanced the bitter? Not sure.)
The maker's additions of honey, coconut and salt would have been exactly what I would have included to balance this bitter flavor, and these counter elements almost worked. I'm looking forward to trying other flavors from this maker, to see what their chocolate tastes like with other flavor blends.
