Welcome to Day #3 of Chocolate and Mexico Theme Week.
Today's Pure Dark Chocolate 74% Organic Cacao Criollo Chiapas, Mexico (bar) was from Casa Bosques (New York, NY and Mexico City).*
Aroma notes for this bar included: dark chocolate and faint chili and olive.
Texture: smooth
Flavor notes included: bold dark chocolate with relatively high acidity (tannic acids, bark).
I liked that this 74% cacao ultra-dark bar wasn't too sweet. It may be too strong for some, but it was fun to try something with deep, dark authentic forest and fermentation flavors. I also appreciated that there were no emulsifiers or artificial ingredients.
Instead the process of chocolate making (from reading information on the Casa Bosques website) is considered a creative endeavor and might include small amounts of ingredients like blue corn, various plants, preserved lemon, etc.
Ingredients: "Organic cacao, organic cane sugar"
Allergen-related information: "Vegan and Organic." "Handcrafted in a facility that also processes peanuts, tree nut, dairy."
*Casa Bosques is a project by Rafael Prieto, founder and creative director of Savvy Studio. Cacao/ingredients are obtained from "small ranches in Mexico."
