Welcome to Day #7 of Chocolate, Bees and Trees Theme Week.
Today's Erable et Sel (Maple & fleur de sel) bar was from Qantu Cacao et Chocolat Inc. (Montreal, QC, Canada).
Aroma notes included: sweet brown/maple sugar, faint caramel chocolate cookie.
Texture: smooth, fully incorporated maple sugar and salt.
Flavor notes included: dark chocolate with sweet, slightly acidic (banana tannins) maple sugar and faint sea salt.
The flavor notes in this blend of cacao and maple sugar had an interesting complexity. The sea salt provided a very light accent flavor.
Maker's tasting notes: "Nose: sweet spices, caramel; Mouth: banana cinnamon; Finish: pecans and other nuts"
Ingredients: "organic cocoa beans, organic pure maple sugar, organic cocoa butter, Maras fleur de sel"
Allergen-related information: "May contain traces of milk and nuts"
