Welcome to Day #2 of Chocolate and Hawaii Theme Week.
Today's 72% Dark Chocolate "Maui Made" (bar) was distributed by Hana Gold Farm (Hana Highway, Maui, HI).
Aroma and flavor notes included: deep dark chocolate with diffuse, balanced fruit and forest notes. I could almost taste (or at least the chocolate conjured up notions of) slightly earthy (peaty/amended) volcanic soils in the greener parts of Hawaii.
Texture: soft, initially very slightly gummy, texture with a creamy and light mouthfeel once melted.
I liked this bold but balanced 72% dark chocolate. Dark fans will appreciate the less sugary taste and the slightly earthy but smooth dark complexity. Like many two-ingredient bars you get more unadulterated cacao flavors and a sense of cacao origins (terroir, fermentation, grower and maker choices).
Ingredients: Hana Gold cacao, organic cane sugar.
Allergen-related information: Made in a facility that... processes nuts, dairy, soy.
