Welcome to Day #11 of Chocolate and Mexico Theme Week.
Today's Coffee (Origin Grand Cru Chiapas, Mexico) 70% Organic Dark Chocolate (bar) was from Michel Cluizel (Paris, France).
The coffee used to make this bar was from Chiapas, Mexico; and the cacao was from Guayas, Ecuador.
Aroma notes for this bar included: dark chocolate, coffee and very faint citrus and olive.
Texture: smooth and uniform with a very faint astringency in the finish.
Flavor notes included: dark chocolate, rich but smooth coffee, and very slight (well-balanced) earth and almost undetectable olive and citrus (mild, sweet orange).
I found this to be a wonderful "sipping" chocolate--that could be savored slowly with a friend. It wasn't too sweet (thank you!), allowing one to appreciate the short list of quality, Organic ingredients.
Ingredients: cocoa from origin Guayas* (Ecuador), cane sugar*, coffee beans*, cocoa butter*
Organic Dark Chocolate (70% of cocoa minimum) and Coffee from Mexico (9% minimum)
Allergen-related information: Product made in a workshop using shelled tree nuts, milk, gluten.
