Welcome to Day #6 of Chocolate and Central America Theme Week.
Today's Maya Mountain 70% Cocoa (bar) was made by Choco Del Mar (Los Altos, CA), using single origin cacao beans from Maya Mountain Cacao in Belize.
Aroma notes included: dark chocolate (drinking chocolate), fruit (red berry, red raspberry) and cream. (Note: there was no actual cream/milk in this bar.)
Texture: smooth, rich texture with a satisfying melt
Flavor notes included: rich dark chocolate (dark ganache, dark cacao with faint and well balanced bitterness); fruit (mixed berry, raspberry; dark raspberry + dark red fruit jam); and barely detectable spice (black pepper) and saltine cracker.
I enjoyed this well-executed flavorful and fruity dark chocolate with balanced complex aroma and flavor notes--all developed from just three ingredients.
Ingredients: Cocoa Nibs, Cane Sugar, Cocoa Butter
Allergen-related information: "Made in a facility that processes milk, nuts, and other common allergens."
