Welcome to Day #6 of Chocolate and Thailand Theme Week.

Today's "Thai Chilli 70% Dark Chocolate" (bar) was from Fjak Chocolate AS (Eidfjord, in the scenic Hardangerfjord area of Norway). This dark bar was made from bean-to-bar in Norway, using cacao beans from Chanthaburi, Thailand.

Aroma notes for this bar--from Fjak's Limited Edition "World Flavours" series--included: dark chocolate and savory vegetable (spicy chili pepper).

Texture: The well-tempered bar broke with a snap (in a cool room); and it had a smooth dark chocolate texture, melt and mouthfeel. (The chili was fully incorporated into the chocolate.)

Flavor notes included: smooth dark chocolate with very faint fruit and spicy hot chili suffused--evenly (thank you)--across the bar. Flavors lingered into the attractive finish.

I enjoyed the short list of thoughtfully sourced organic ingredients as well as the authentic chili flavor nuances and its consistent distribution throughout the chocolate (no pockets of surprise heat). One of my favorite chili chocolate bars in years. Perfectly balanced chili and chocolate flavors. (In the Goldilocks zone. "Not too this. Not too that. Just right.")

Maker's description: "...By lacing...Thailand cocoa beans...with the aromatic heat of Thailand's most emblematic flavour of Bird Eye chilli, we find ourselves somewhere between the colourful street food markets of Bangkok and the lush green cocoa plantations of south east Thailand. Boom!"
