Welcome to Day #9 of Chocolate, Berries & Cherries Theme Week.
Today's 60% Dark Chocolate Love & Happiness Blood Orange & Raspberry (bar) was made from bean to bar by Xocolatl LLC (Atlanta, GA).
Aroma notes included subtle dark chocolate and faint fruit (berry, citrus, date).
Texture: smooth, very slightly textured (finely ground, stoneground; or fudge-y cacao ground with freeze-dried fruit particles) mouthfeel--with an even and hearty/satisfying melt.
The flavors burst forth when I tasted a piece of this 60% bar. Dark chocolate (chocolate-y with very faint, balanced earth notes) was embedded with bright layered fruit: bright red berry (red raspberry) and citrus (orange, blood orange).
I enjoyed the tart sweet refreshing fruit flavors that mingled with this dark chocolate.
