Welcome to Day #10 of Chocolate and France Theme Week, and Day #2 of Chocolate and Fruits Theme Week.
Today's Kayambe Noir de Cacao 72% Chocolat Noir (bar) was from Cluizel Paris (Paris, France).
The blend of cacaos used to make this chocolate came from Central America, Central Africa and Java, and possibly Ecuador.
Aroma and flavor notes for this smooth-textured chocolate included: rich and balanced dark chocolate (chocolate-y); faint, roast-y licorice; and very faint red berries.
It was a little sweet for a 72% cacao dark chocolate. (It tasted more like a 65%-67% cacao bar.) But, it did contain developed and balanced dark chocolate flavors.
I paired this bar with several fruits, including slices of guava, apple and pear.
Maker's Tasting Notes: "Flavors of Red Berries, Licorice and Finely Bitter Cocoa."
Ingredients: "cocoa, sugar, cocoa butter, Bourbon vanilla pod"
Allergen-related information: "May contain traces of shelled tree nuts, milk and gluten."
