Welcome to Day #2 of Chocolate & India Theme Week.
Today's 70% Dark Mezcalita India (bar) was from Tres Gallos Chocolate (San Jose, CA and Pescadero Baja Sur, Mexico). The woman-owned and family-run company has been making micro-batch, single origin chocolates since 2018.
Aroma and flavor notes included dark chocolate (balanced, ultra-dark chocolate-y flavor), zesty citrus (lime), and subtle mezcal and salt.
I appreciated the relatively short list of ingredients and choice of organic cacao beans and sugar.
Ingredients: Organic cocoa beans, organic sugar, cocoa butter, trace amounts of mezcal, lime zest, Oaxacan salt.
Allergen-related information: None listed
