Welcome to Day #2 of Chocolate and India Week.
Today's Bon-fiction "Out in the Dark" 73% dark chocolate (bar) was made from tree-to-bar in India, and imported and distributed by Godavari Chocolate Inc. (Folsom, CA).
The cacao used to make this bar was "hand-picked from farms in the Godavari region of Southern India."
Aroma and flavor notes for this single origin, tree-to-bar chocolate included: rich dark chocolate with faint tropical fruit (mango, cacao fruit); honey; and a balanced, very faint, fruit (grape) muskiness and maltiness. The levels of tannins/acids and bitterness were all relatively low in this bar.
The texture was smooth and relatively buttery/creamy with a very, very mild fruit (grape or mango level) astringency.
I liked the balanced, subtle sweet fruit flavor notes and the short list of quality ingredients.
Ingredients: "Cocoa Beans, Organic Cane Sugar, Cocoa Butter."
Allergen-related information: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes: Milk, Peanuts, Almond, Cashew, Walnut, Coconut, Hazelnut, Pistachio."
