Welcome to Day #8 of Chocolate and Ginger Theme Week.

Today's Ginger Lime - Cuban Baracoa 70% Dark Chocolate (bar) was from / made by Willie's Cacao Ltd (Uffculme, UK and Copenhagen, Denmark). 

This travel inspired, bean-to-bar chocolate was made using cacao from (Baracoa) Cuba. 

Aroma notes for this bar included: lime, chocolate and very faint warm, island spice (ginger).

Texture: pleasantly smooth and fudge-y with tiny slightly crunchy bits of crystallized (I'm presuming) candied ginger and maybe candied lime peel. The overall textural blend was well-balanced, and seemed just right to release the layered flavors in this chocolate. (They all melted down together in a pleasing way.)

Flavor notes included: an upbeat blend of smooth dark chocolate, tangy sweet lime, subtly spicy ginger and faint honey.

I literally felt happy after tasting this chocolate. 

Ingredients: "cocoa mass, raw cane sugar, crystallised ginger 12% (stem ginger, sugar), cocoa butter, essential lime oil 0.1%". (Cacao solids 70%)
