Welcome to Day #17 of Chocolate, Berries & Cherries Theme Week.
Today's Raspberry Dark Chocolate 57% Cacao Semuliki Forest Uganda (bar) was handcrafted by Kessho Craft Chocolate and distributed by Kessho, LLC in Austin, TX.
Aroma notes included: Red berries (red raspberry) and smooth dark chocolate.
Texture: uniformly smooth, fudge-like texture with a relatively rapid, creamy melt. The raspberry powder was fully incorporated into the chocolate.
Flavor notes for this single origin cacao chocolate included: relatively smooth, tart-sweet, red raspberry, dark chocolate and very faint warm spice.
The red raspberry flavor was authentically vibrant and was the star of the show--to the point where it eclipsed possible underlying nuances of the Uganda (hybrid Trinitario and Forastero) cacao. There were no obvious bitter or off notes in the slightly fudge-y, 57% dark chocolate; but any fruit or floral notes in the cacao were topped by raspberries/lower percentage of cacao.
I appreciated the use of single origin cacao and the short list of only four ingredients.
Maker's tasting notes: "Red berries, rose petals and chocolate fudge"
Ingredients: "Whole cacao beans, sugar, cocoa butter, raspberry powder"
Allergen-related information: "Made in a facility that also processes milk, tree nuts, wheat, sesame and eggs."
