Welcome to Day #14 of Chocolate & Jamaica Theme Week.
Today's Bachelor's Hall Estate 72% Cocoa (bar) was from Likkle More Chocolate (Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies)...as in, please give me a "little more" chocolate.
Aroma and flavor notes for this attractively decorated, single origin Jamaican dark bar included: smooth dark chocolate (nutty cocoa); faint red fruit and red apple jelly; barely there warm spice; and a wee bit of balanced (coffee-like) bitterness/acidity and in the finish.
Texture: smooth dark chocolate with an even melt. Finish: There was a very slight fruit/coffee/menthol sensation that resolved into a faint, red apple tartness at the tail end of the finish.
I liked the subtle complexity, especially the nutty cocoa notes up front. The very faint coffee, wood, apple and menthol notes in the finish were interesting and balanced. Overall it was fairly low in bitterness.
I appreciated the short list of ingredients (only three ingredients), the fact that they press their (own) cocoa butter, and the attractive packaging art and compostable inner wrapper.
Ingredients: "Cocoa nibs, cane sugar, cocoa butter. All-natural colors derived from plants, fruits & vegetables."
Allergen-related information: "Made in a kitchen that handles milk, seeds & nuts."
