Welcome to Day #24 of Chocolate and Fruits Theme Week.

Today's Again Fig Limited Edition Milk Chocolate Bar was made in the U.K. by Chocolarder (Falmouth, Cornwall, UK).

Oak-smoked figs from Loveday Distillery (Falmouth, Cornwall, UK) used to flavor rum have been given a second life in this "Again" Fig chocolate bar.

Chocolarder describes how they gently remove the alcohol, dry the figs and break them into pieces ("with just the right texture"). The concept of re-use of high-quality ingredients made us happy to be a part of them "helping prevent waste through our bean to bar process." 

The cacao beans used were from Oko Caribe in the Dominican Republic--a cocoa producer and exporter that buys ("wet") beans from local, smallholder farmers and provides centralized post-harvest processing, fermentation and drying. Their beans have been described as having a variety of subtle fruit notes, including bright fruit flavor notes (berry, mango cherry), and red and brown (dried) fruit notes, and even banana.

Aroma and flavor notes for this 50% milk chocolate fig bar included: smooth, dark milk chocolate, milk, warm, dried fruit (fig), and a faint warmth that I associated with spirits like rum that might have spent some time in a wood barrel and picked up some lovely flavors.

Texture: This well-tempered bar broke with a satisfying snap. The base chocolate was smooth and satisfying and was studded with small pieces/bits of soft, chewy fig.

I enjoyed the authentic flavors of the single origin cacao and formerly rum-soaked figs--a blend that was softened (but not completely muted) by milk. I also appreciated the short list of quality ingredients. 

Ingredients: Cocoa Beans, Unrefined Sugar, Milk Powder, Dried Figs (8%). Milk Chocolate contains min. 50% cocoa and min. 14% milk solids.
