Welcome to Day #9 of Chocolate and Salt Theme Week.
Today's 70% Dark Chocolate Sea Salt (bar) was from Ocelot Craft Chocolate (Dundee, UK) and imported into the U.S. by Original Beans BV (Amsterdam, NL).
The cacao used to make this chocolate was from Virunga National Park, Eastern Congo.
Aroma and flavor notes included: dark chocolate (relatively bold but balanced brownie with faint roasted, earth, very faint diffuse red fruit (apple and red berry), and chocolate cookie).
Texture: smooth dark chocolate with periodic tiny, crunchy salt crystals.
I enjoyed the chocolate-y flavors in this bar, and the origin stories about the salt as well as the cacao.
The Chocolate Dispensary supplied tasting notes: "The fruity, smoky flavours of this chocolate are beautifully lifted by a salty-sweet kick of hand-harvested sea salt from Scotland."
Ingredients: cacao mass*, raw cane sugar*, cacao butter*, sea salt (1%). Cacao solids: 70% minimum.
Allergen-related information: May contain almonds, hazelnuts and milk.
