Welcome to Day #8 of Chocolate and Mexico Theme Week.
Today's 65% Dark Milk chocolate with cacao beans from (Comalcalco) Tabasco, Mexico (Batch #23038) bar was made by Pinwheel Craft Chocolate (Eagle Mountain, UT).
Aroma and flavor notes for this single estate bar included: smooth dark milk chocolate, caramel flan, sweet nut (walnut); and hard to pin down, diffuse forest/tannin; juicy fruit and warm spice. (There was also a faint, fresh and clean mineral taste that I liked.)
Texture: creamy, almost silky melt and mouthfeel.
I loved the luxurious texture, the thoughtful short list of ingredients, and the well-crafted, subtle and complex flavors. The subtle sophistication will appeal to both milk and dark chocolate lovers.
Maker's tasting notes: "...dulce de Leche, custard, toasted walnuts"
Ingredients: Cacao beans, cane sugar*, cocoa butter*, whole milk* (* = organic ingredients)
Allergen-related information: Made on shared equipment that processes nuts and dairy
