Welcome to Day #9 of Chocolate and Central America Theme Week.
Today's Nicaragua 72% Dark Chocolate (bar) was from Xocolatl LLC, a small batch chocolate maker based in Atlanta, GA. The company offers a variety of chocolates, including single origin bean-to-bar chocolates.
This bar was made using cacao sourced directly from Cacao Bisiesto "within the shaded forests of El Tuma, Nicaragua and produced in partnership with Birds Georgia.
Aroma notes for this 72% bar included: subtle dark chocolate; fleeting biscuit; and very faint, diffuse fruit and floral.
Flavor notes included: rich dark chocolate (fudge brownie, drinking chocolate), faint floral and oolong tea; and barely detectable, diffuse fruit (citrus).
I liked this well-executed and flavorful dark chocolate with classic chocolate-y flavor--plus some additional, subtle complexity (floral and tea notes); and the short list of quality and organic ingredients.
Maker's description (tasting profile for this bar): "Classic cocoa, lightly floral, tannic with low acidity."
Ingredients: "Cacao, Cane Sugar*, and Cocoa Butter* (* organic)"
Allergen-related information: Made on Equipment that processes soy, wheat, peanuts & tree nuts (almond, hazelnut, pecan).
