Welcome to Day #7 of Chocolate & The Philippines Theme Week.
Today's 70% Dark Rehoboth Estate Philippines (bar) was from Fossa Chocolate (Singapore).
Aroma and flavor notes included: rich, dark chocolate with balanced dried/fermented red fruits: fermented grapes (port/red wine) and plum/prune. Subtle, high-quality, well-executed flavors with depth, that closed with a clean finish.
Texture: This bar was well-tempered with a smooth texture, melt and mouthfeel.
I enjoyed the sophisticated fruit and the single origin (Philippines) dark chocolate complexity; the balanced boldness and dark fudge-y rich qualities that stopped just short of bitterness; and last, but not least, the impressive flavors coaxed from just two high-quality ingredients.
Make sure to slow down and smell, taste and enjoy all that this chocolate has to offer.
Maker's Tasting Notes: "Tawny port, Prunes, Red dates"
Ingredients: "Cacao, cane sugar"
Allergen-related information: "Produced in a facility that processes nuts & dairy."
