Bonjour, and welcome to Day #4 of Chocolate & France Theme Week.

Today's Chocolat Fondant - Surfin Pur Cacao & Sucre 65% Cacao (bar) from Bonnat Chocolatier (Voiron, France) was made using an original recipe "invented by Felix Bonnat in 1884." 

It was created with a blend of cacaos from Venezuela, West Africa, Brazil, Peru and Mexico.

Aroma notes for this bar included: smooth chocolate with subtle, pleasant, clean green floral (orchid)/green tea.

This bar had a smooth, almost creamy texture; and it was relatively thick. It broke with a hard, well-tempered snap.

Flavor: smooth and very chocolate-y; relatively low in bitterness with gentle (extremely subtle) complexity (very faint botanical, balanced earth, floral, green notes).

I really enjoyed this blend of single origin cacaos that dated back generations, and the smooth sophisticated and chocolate-y flavor of the chocolate. Thank you Elise for the tasting help.

Ingredients: Cocoa, Cocoa Butter Sugar
