Welcome to Day #21 of Chocolate and Fruits Theme Week.
Today's two Sted Foods bars were manufactured by TC Foods, LLC (Fergus Falls, MN).
Classic Milk
Surprisingly complex, flavorful and delicious 45% milk chocolate with chocolate, caramel, very faint, diffuse fruit (red fruit, red licorice), and butter cookie notes.
I enjoyed this organic bar, made with a short list of just 4 quality ingredients. There were no emulsifiers (thank you).
Ingredients: "organic cane sugar, organic cocoa beans, organic cocoa butter, organic whole milk powder"
Allergen-related information: Contains Milk. Made in a facility that uses sesame seeds, pecans, almonds, coconut, cashews, hazelnuts and milk.
Lingonberry Bliss
Maker's description: "A dairy free, fruit chocolate bursting with (the) zingy flavor of lingonberry..."
I loved the pretty berry pink-mauve color, and the fresh sweet-tart aroma and flavor.
The authentic cocoa butter provided a rich melt and mouth feel and a good foil for the clear, authentic tart-sweet berry (lingonberry with red raspberry notes). A lovely combination. This bar was nearly as refreshing as a fresh berry sorbet on a summer day.
Ingredients: organic cocoa butter, organic cane sugar, organic freeze dried lingonberry powder
Allergen-related information: "Made in a facility that uses sesame seeds, pecans, almonds, coconut, cashews, hazelnuts, and milk."
