Welcome to Day #18 of Chocolate and Fruits Theme Week.
Today's Pineapple Bites with Craft Dark Chocolate offering, from Marou Faiseurs De Chocolat (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam), was imported to the U.S. by A Priori Specialty Food, Salt Lake City, UT.
Aroma and flavor notes included: subtly sweet, smooth dark chocolate with tropical/sweet tart fruit (delicate, authentic and sweet pineapple aroma and taste).
Texture: softly chewy pieces of dried pineapple, covered with soft, smooth dark chocolate.
I enjoyed the blend of naturally sweet (not overly candied) dried, softly chewy pineapple pieces and smooth dark chocolate. Marou makes chocolate using cacao grown in the six southernmost provinces of Vietnam.
Marou is one of the small percentage of chocolate makers featured on Chocolate Banquet (and in the world) that makes chocolate "in-country". (Chocolates are made in the same country where the cacao is grown.)
Ingredients: Dried Pineapple (Pineapple, Cane Sugar, Acid Citric, Preservatives (E223)), Dark Chocolate (Cacao Nibs, Cane Sugar, Cacao Butter).
Allergen-related information: "May Contain Milk, Eggs, Cashews, Peanuts Sulphites."
