Today's Endorfin Foods Citradelic Blood Orange 70% Cacao (bar) was manufactured by Coracao Confections (Richmond, CA).
Aroma and flavor notes included: sweet, smooth dark chocolate and slightly nutty* (caramelized cashew* and coconut) and subtle, aromatic sweet citrus (orange).
Texture: This was a well-tempered and smooth chocolate. The coconut butter and orange oil were likely fully incorporated into the cocoa butter, then the overall chocolate--resulting in a pleasing, uniformly smooth overall texture.
I enjoyed the subtle and authentic chocolate and citrus flavors in today's bar, as well as the rich texture and flavor that the caramelized coconut butter + cocoa butter added.
And I appreciated the short list of quality organic and fair trade ingredients (e.g. the cold-pressed blood orange essential oil). This bar was Certified USDA Organic. Everything about this bar was pleasing and thoughtful, including the attractive (and 100% compostable) packaging.
I think this chocolate would also make a nice gift. It's a warm, friendly and flavorful 70% cacao dark chocolate without being bitter or acidic.
