Welcome to Day #8 of Chocolate & Colombia Theme Week.
Today's Tumaco 85% Cocoa Dark Chocolate (bar) was from Choco Del Mar (Los Altos, CA).
Aroma and flavor notes for this Colombia bar included: chocolate-y dark chocolate; faint forest (pine); and extremely faint licorice, molasses, floral, and smoke-y fruit (umami berry (golden berry)) and nut. This bar had a gentle, chocolate-y finish.
Texture: smooth, almost creamy texture with a satisfying melt
I liked the aroma and flavor complexity, the balanced (and relatively low) bitterness, and the natural sweetness that shone through--even given it was an 85% cacao (extra dark) chocolate.
Maker's description: "Sourced from Colombia's lush Pacific coast, this bar offers a smooth journey of deep chocolatey richness, with gentle nutty undertones and light fruit notes."
Ingredients: Cocoa Nibs, Cane Sugar, Cocoa Butter
Allergen-related information: Made in a facility that processes milk, nuts, and other common allergens.
