Welcome to Day #9 of Chocolate, Earth, Mountains, Forests & Gardens Theme Week.
Today's In the Garden 38% Milk Chocolate with Black Sage Oil (bar) was created and distributed by Beato Chocolate (a woman-owned and artist focused business) "anti-established" in Ojai, California.
"In The Garden" is a collaboration between Beato Chocolates and GARA Skincare. (Artwork for this bar: Beatrice Wood.)
"Foraged in the hills of Central, CA and distilled by GARA skincare in Ojai, CA, black sage is known for its calming, relaxing and nourishing properties."
Aroma and flavor notes included: sweet chocolate and herbs (mint, sage)
Texture: smooth, creamy milk chocolate
I appreciated the sage flavor; the creamy texture; and the focus on art and artists.
The black sage (oil) flavor tasted authentic and harmonized nicely with the sweet milk chocolate. It helped balance the strong sweetness. (The first ingredient listed was sugar.) Too sweet for me; but those with a sweet tooth will likely enjoy this chocolate. I liked everything else about this bar.
Ingredients: Evaporated cane sugar, cacao beans, organic full cream milk, cocoa butter, sunflower lecithin, black sage oil
Allergen-related information: Contains Milk.
