Welcome to Day #7 of Chocolate, Berries & Cherries Theme Week.
Today's Huckleberry 58% Craft Dark Chocolate (bar) was from Tabal Chocolate (Wauwatosa, WI).
The founders "stone grind their chocolate for three days in small batches from bean to bar to develop exotic flavors and maintain nutrients."
Aroma and flavor notes for today's huckleberry chocolate included: relatively strong, sweet blueberry (with a touch of slightly earthy, ripe wild blackberry); smooth, sweet dark chocolate; and very faint herb (sage).
It was fun to try a huckleberry-flavored chocolate. This berry is native to the Americas and can grow in mountainous areas. The 58% chocolate bar seemed quite sweet, almost too much for me (a committed dark fan). I'd love to try a 70% version of this bar just to compare the two. However, most people will likely find this sweet and even refreshing (like a flavorful frozen berry pop on a hot summer day).
Ingredients: Direct-trade cacao*, cane sugar*, cacao butter*, huckleberry oil (* = Organic)
