Welcome to Day #7 of Savory Chocolates Theme Week.
Today's 64% Dark Milk Black Truffle (bar) was made by Fossa Chocolate (Singapore). Fungi like mushrooms and truffles are rich in umami (glutamate) flavors--that overlap with savory flavors.
Aroma and flavor notes for this black truffle bar included: aromatic, slightly earthy black truffle, and soft dark chocolate (cocoa).
Texture: soft, velvety dark chocolate with a crunchy feuilletine bits (like finely ground, fresh and light vanilla wafer crumbs).
I found this bar addicting. The textures and flavors were very well balanced and executed. The black truffle was authentic (and perhaps the boldest flavor in this bar). I also appreciated the short list of quality ingredients and single origin cacao.
Maker's Tasting Notes: "...reminiscent of damp undergrowth, earth, humus and mushrooms...Infused into floral Ecuadorian Costa Esmeraldas dark milk chocolate and mixed with crispy feuilletine..."
Ingredients: Cacao, cane sugar, cacao butter, milk powder, truffle oil (sunflower oil, black truffle), feuilletine (wheat flour, sugar, butter, salt), sea salt
Allergen-related information: Contains Wheat. "Produced in a facility that processes nuts & dairy."
