Welcome to Day #12 of Chocolate and Hawaii Theme Week.
Today's Dark Chocolate 65% and Dark Milk Chocolate 60% squares--manufactured by Maui Ku'ia Estate Chocolate Inc. (Lahaina, Maui, HI)--were part of an attractively-packaged 48-piece dark chocolate and dark milk assortment of individually-wrapped squares.
Dark Chocolate 65% square
Aroma and flavor notes for this smooth-textured 65% dark chocolate included: dark chocolate (dark ganache/torte, cocoa); slightly acidic but balanced fruit (citrus); and barely detectable balanced, bittersweet, cream, clean mineral and fleeting floral/oolong tea notes.
Dark Milk Chocolate 60% square
Aroma and flavor notes for this creamy, smooth-textured dark milk 60% square included: rich, creamy (hot chocolate/drinking chocolate), nuanced (and very slightly milk-buffered) cacao complexity.
What did I like? The genuine robust, well-balanced and gently complex cacao/dark chocolate flavors in the dark chocolate square; and the rich taste and creaminess (with cacao flavor depth) in the dark milk chocolate 60% version.
Both these chocolates were good. The former was well-executed, flavorful and not too sweet (thank you!); and the latter is a dark milk chocolate that I think will likely please both dark and milk chocolate lovers.
Ingredients: Cacao Beans, Sugar, Cocoa Butter. The Dark Milk 60% version also contained Milk.
Allergen-related information: The Dark Milk Chocolate 60% square contained Milk. "Soy, nut and gluten free."
