Welcome to Day #6 of Chocolate & Passion Fruit Theme Week.
Today's Karu Maracuya Dark Milk Chocolate with Passion Fruit (bar) was made in Bogota, Colombia using cacao grown in the Tumaco region of Colombia.
Aroma and flavor notes included: smooth dark chocolate (dark, creamy, chocolate ganache) and authentic tropical fruit (passion fruit)
Texture: relatively smooth dark milk chocolate with tiny crunchy flecks of passion fruit seeds.
I enjoyed the natural tart-sweetness and relatively dark-tasting 50% cacao, single origin milk chocolate.
I also appreciated the short list of quality ingredients and the jaguar-themed packaging. The larger bar was scored into four, generously-sized squares. Each of the squares were embossed with a jaguar image. The inner gold wrapper was covered with milk chocolate hued brown leopard spots; and the outer packaging was a forest of sunny greens and yellows with images of maracuya (passion fruit) fruits--including some that were cut open to reveal delectable golden pulp and seeds inside.
Ingredients: Cacao, Cacao Butter, Cane Sugar, Milk Powder, Freeze-Dried Passion Fruit
