Welcome to Day #3 of Chocolate and Citrus Week.

Today's Cardamom & Orange 70% Dark Chocolate Nicaragua (bar) was from Argencove Fine Chocolate (Granada, Nicaragua).*

Aroma notes for today's spice and citrus bar included: fragrant cardamom, slightly savory spice, orange and subtle, almost buttery dark chocolate.

Texture: relatively soft, creamy, and smooth. The cardamom and orange were completely incorporated into the chocolate.

Flavor notes were enjoyably complex and balanced and included: smooth dark chocolate infused with balanced sweet-tart citrus (orange), spice (cardamom), and very faint slightly earthy floral-herbal (think saffron, cardamom and turmeric vegetable stew with rice).

I loved the blend of unique, complex and complementary spice, citrus and cacao notes, and the
short list of quality and local (Nicaragua-grown) ingredients.

Ingredients: Cacao, sugar, cocoa butter, cardamom, orange.

Allergen-related information: May contain traces of peanuts and/or tree nuts due to shared equipment.

*Manufactured by C y B Productos Agricolas S.A. (Granada, Nicaragua).
