Welcome to Day #14 of Chocolate & Flowers Theme Week. 

Hops used to make beer are made using the female flowers of this plant, and I was delighted to find a bar that contained Centennial* hops for this floral-themed week. 

Today's Peach IPA dark chocolate 60% (mountain peaches & hops) was created by River-Sea Chocolate Factory (Chantilly, VA). 

The cacao used to make this bar was from Haiti.

I really enjoyed this creamy, flavorful chocolate. Soft cacao (milk chocolate-y) notes flowed into authentic peach fruit/peach floral notes, followed by very faint flash of berry/pink peppercorn; and finishing with balanced and authentic, balanced hop notes. 

And I appreciated the short list of authentic, quality and organic ingredients.

I eat my daily chocolate for breakfast; and this addicting dark milk bar was gone before lunch. 

Ingredients: Cacao Beans, Organic Cane Sugar, Fragrant Cacao Butter, Organic Whole Cow Milk, Palisade Peaches, Peach Extract, Pure Centennial Hop Oil 

Allergen-related information: Contains Milk. "Made in a facility that uses nuts, cow milk, and coconut" "Gluten-Free; Soy Free"

*Centennial (aka Super Cascade) hops have citrus, pine and floral notes and are versatile. They can be used for brewing or for culinary purposes.
