Welcome to Day #2 of Chocolate & Colombia Theme Week.
Today's 55% Brazil Nuts and Sea Salt San Roque (bar) from Origen Cacao was "handcrafted in small batches" at the company's factory in San Roque, Antioquia (Colombia).
Aroma and flavor notes included: satisfying, smooth and subtle dark chocolate--made with Colombian-grown cacao(s) that were low in acidity and bitterness. (It was almost similar to eating a milk chocolate bar or chocolate made with a milder, heritage/criollo cacao variety.)
Texture: smooth 55% dark chocolate with softly crunchy pieces of Brazil nuts.
I enjoyed the salt and the nuts--that also helped prevent this chocolate from being overly sweet.
Warning: addictive, as many salted dark milk chocolate bars (with nuts) can be. But, again, this bar did not contain milk.
Ingredients: "Organic cacao, organic cane sugar, organic cocoa butter, brazil nuts, sea salt."
Allergen-related information: Contains nuts (Brazil nuts).
