Welcome to Day #13 of Chocolate & Fruits Theme Week.
Today's Nordic Berries Peru 50% Milk (bar) was from Chocolate Tree (East Lothian, Scotland).
The cacao used to make this bar was from Peru.*
Aroma and flavor notes included: satisfying (and slightly addictive) dark milk chocolate with integrated, authentic, pleasing, mixed berry notes.
Texture: smooth, very creamy texture. (The berries were fully incorporated into the bar, so there were no seed particles or berry pulp pieces.)
I loved the flavor, textures...and the pattern on this bar (interlocking flying birds).
What I did not care for: This well-executed bar was addictive and it disappeared completely before I could even finish writing this review. Do not open this bar if you're very hungry.
But, seriously, this was a very nice bar and would be suitable as a gift or for sharing with others.
It's got enough dark chocolate flavor to satisfy dark fans, but enough smoothness and creaminess to appeal to (dark) milk chocolate fans. It would pair well with high-end desserts/dessert assortment plates.
Maker's tasting notes: "Berry Bouquet"; Pairing Suggestion: Champagne, Cheesecake.
Ingredients: Organic cocoa butter, organic cocoa beans, organic sugar, organic Milk powder, organic raspberries (4%), organic wild blackberries (3%), organic wild blueberries (3%).
Allergen-related information: Contains Milk.
