Welcome to Day #10 of Chocolate and Warm Spices Week, and Day #1 of Chocolate, Bees and Trees Theme Week--including chocolates with honey, maple and other tree related sweeteners and flavors.
Today's Wild Spice 70% Cacao Chocolate Bar (Batch #000106) from The Chocolate Conspiracy (Salt Lake City, UT) was made from bean-to-bar using cacao from Peru (Ucayali region).
Aroma notes included: warm, woodsy, spice and dark chocolate
Texture: smooth, almost silky texture, mouthfeel and melt
Flavor notes included dark chocolate (deep, dense, forest but not too bitter or acidic); very light honey; very faint spice; spicy (hot pepper) upticks; and occasional sparkles of salt.
I liked the complexity and that this attractive honeycomb-shaped bar wasn't too sweet. The honey and vanilla added a light floral sweetness.
