Welcome to Day #10 of Chocolate & Spirits Theme Week.
Today's Rum n Raisin 63% Coconut Dark Milk (bar) was from Solkiki Chocolatemaker (United Kingdom).
Cacao source: Gran Nativo Blanco cacao beans from Piura, North Peru. The rum was Diplomatico Reserva Rum, was from the Diplomatico Distillery (in Venezuela).
Aroma and flavor notes included: sweet coconut milk chocolate embedded with slightly boozy, plump raisins.
Texture: smooth, very slightly chalky (likely due to slightly bloomed chocolate*).
Ingredients: "Organic Gran Nativo Cacao Beans, Organic Unrefined Cane Sugar, Organic Undeodoriesed Cacao Butter, Organic Coconut, Organic Raisins, Diplomatico Reserva Rum"
Allergen-related information: Contains Coconut. "Vegan. May contain traces of soy, nuts, gluten"
*This coconut chocolate bar wasn't expired. But, sadly, somewhere in the shipping/storage process before it reached me, this bar likely became slightly "bloomed"--where a slightly white-ish coloration appears and the texture is somewhat affected as ingredients/cacao butter move from a tempered to a less stable configuration.
