Welcome to Day #2 of Chocolate and Vietnam Theme Week.
Today's 75% Vietnam Ben Tre (bar) was from Ranger Chocolate (Batch #13) (Portland, OR).
Aroma and flavor notes included: pleasant, smooth, naturally sweet chocolate with very faint warm spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, root beer, molasses); dried fruits (fig, date); and barely-there vanilla notes.
Texture: This relatively thick bar broke with a well-tempered snap; the smooth, dark chocolate had a relatively creamy texture and melt.
Note: Apologies to the maker. I enjoyed this well-executed bar after the likely expiration date. While it still tasted fine to me, I may have missed out on some notes/qualities that were beyond their best.
Maker's tasting notes: "dried fig, nutmeg, molasses"
"Two ingredients: organic cacao, organic cane sugar"
