Welcome to Day #6 of Chocolate and Cherries Theme Week.
Today's Dark Chocolate Pistachio & Cherry 72% Cocoa Content (bar) from Jouvay* Chocolate -- a partnership between Grenada's Diamond Chocolate Factory (Grenada, West Indies) and the Burdick family."**
The dark chocolate used to make this bar: "100% Grenadian Cocoa."
Aroma and flavor notes included: dark chocolate (smooth with very faint, fleeting earth/smokey peat); authentic, tart-sweet cherry; and and faint nut (pistachio).
Texture: very smooth, with softly crunchy pistachio nuts and cherry cherries.
I liked the authentic, fresh-tasting flavor inclusions (cherry fruit, pistachio nuts). The 72% dark chocolate was well-executed, balanced, had a pleasing rich texture and was not too sweet.
Ingredients: Cocoa beans, cocoa butter, cane sugar, pistachios, cherries
Allergen-related information: (Contains tree nuts: pistachios)
*Jouvay is "Caribbean Patois for the opening day of Carnival - From the French "jour ouvert" (opening day)"
**Sadly the U.S. distributor wound down this chocolate business in October 2025; and the website showed they were out of stock on this bar and others.
