Welcome to Day #3 of Chocolate and Central America Theme Week.
Today's Limited Edition Dark Chocolate Pure Passion Fruit 70% Cacao - Guatemala (bar) was made from bean to bar by Goodnow Farms Chocolate (Sudbury, MA), as part of their "Maker's Choice" series.
Aroma notes included: dark chocolate (bitter to bittersweet) and balanced, tart-sweet fruit (passion fruit).
Texture: smooth and satisfying texture and melt
Flavor notes included: a perfect blend (for me) between the dark, balanced-bitter cacao and tart-sweet passion fruit. There was a very faint earth flavor - but it was so well balanced/managed that it would be hard to imagine this bar without it. This chocolate had an almost dynamic, lilting quality to it. Very enjoyable.
I found this 70% bar addictive--in a way that I often do with excellent dark milk chocolate bars. This sweet-tart dark chocolate had an almost dynamic, lilting quality to it. Very enjoyable.
Maker's description: "This passion fruit dark chocolate is a powerful expression of luscious, sweet and tart tropical fruit. Our bright, Guatemalan Asochivite cacao pairs perfectly with the tropical citrus flavors of passion fruit, and our freshly pressed cocoa butter creates a smooth and rich chocolate experience."
