Welcome to Day #4 of Chocolate & Mint Theme Week.
Today's Peppermint Milk Chocolate 37% Cocoa with English Black Mitcham peppermint (bar) was from Summerdown Farms Ltd. (Hampshire, UK).
This "smooth chocolate with a cooling finish" was made using a single origin Colombian cacao; although it was difficult to tell because this was a relatively low cacao percentage (37% cacao) bar. (Cocoa mass was the fourth ingredient.)
Aroma and flavor notes included: dark milk chocolate and mint.
Texture: smooth, creamy texture with a relatively (cocoa) buttery melt and fatty/buttery mouth feel.
For those with a sweet tooth, this may be an enjoyable chocolate confection. Sadly, this bar was relatively sweet and almost bland for me, despite the vanilla and mint flavourings. It did have a nice, balanced, authentic mint finish and the chocolate was relatively smooth.
Ingredients: Sugar, cocoa butter, whole milk powder, cocoa mass, natural flavouring (vanilla, Black Mitcham peppermint oil), emulsifier (soya lecithin).
Allergen-related information: Contains Milk. May contain traces of gluten, nuts and peanuts.
