Welcome to Day #6 of Chocolate and Citrus Theme Week.
Today's Blood Orange Date Sweetened Chocolate 72% Cacao (bar) was created and distributed by Spring & Mulberry (Raleigh, NC).
Aroma notes included: chocolate cookie, sweet dried fruit (date), faint tangy citrus, and even fainter fruit floral (orange blossom) and sweet green herbal.
Texture: relatively smooth with a very fine granularity. (The dates were completely incorporated into the chocolate.)
Flavor notes included: similar to the aroma notes above, only with a deeper, fudgier chocolate experience with citrus (orange peel, fruit and very faint orange blossom).
I liked the hearty, balanced chocolate and date flavors coupled with the more delicate, authentic-tasting orange. And I appreciated the short list of organic ingredients.
Ingredients: Cacao Beans*, Dates*, Cacao Butter*, Orange Essential Oil* (* = Organic)
