Welcome to Day #8 of Chocolate, Bees and Trees Theme Week.
Today's Coffee Milk Chocolate (bar) was from Honeymoon Chocolates (Saint Louis, MO). This chocolate was sweetened with raw, unfiltered honey.
Aroma notes included: pleasing, aromatic, fresh ground coffee, chocolate, coffee latte and very faint honey.
Texture: relatively smooth with a very slightly waxy but pleasing melt (in a cold room).
Flavor notes included smooth-flavored dark milk chocolate with coffee and honey.
I enjoyed the aroma, flavors and the short list of quality, organic ingredients. I also appreciated that a portion of the proceeds from the company's chocolate bars are "automatically donated to support honeybee research--and that cacao transaction pricing (farm gate ($2.16 per kilogram) and beyond) information was included in the interest of transparency.*
Ingredients: Organic Raw Honey, Organic Cacao, Organic Cacao Butter, Organic Nonfat Dairy, Organic Coffee
Allergen-related information: Contains Dairy. Manufactured in a Facility That Prepares Dairy & Gluten Products. Also, the following advisory notice read: "This Product Contains Raw Honey and Should Not Be Given to Infants Under the Age of One.")
*It's very rare for this information to be easily accessible to the end consumer.
