Welcome to Day #22 of Chocolate and Fruits Theme Week.
Today's "Kumquat Dark Madagascar 70% Cacao Akesson's Organic Sambirano Valley Bean to Bar Dark Craft Chocolate" (bar) was made by The Organic House (Burlington, ON, Canada).
Aroma notes for this single origin + citrus chocolate included: smooth, dark chocolate; maple/brown sugar; and faint citrus.
Flavor notes included: maple-sweetened dark chocolate and bright, tart-sweet, authentic citrus (kumquat) with a medium, balanced acidity. The Madagascar cacao likely also contributed some citrus or citrus + tart berry/cherry notes. The maple sugar added warmth and flavor depth.
Texture: This bar was smooth and well executed. I'm guessing the kumquats were freeze-dried and then fully incorporated into the chocolate (no fruit or peel detected), while still maintaining their natural flavor.
I enoyed the fresh-tasting and authentic flavors and the use of single origin cacao. I also appreciated the short list of quality and organic ingredients.
Maker's Tasting Notes: "Kumquats, cherry and raisins. Very milky"
Ingredients: Organic cacao beans*, Ontario maple sugar*, Organic cacao butter*, Kumquats. (*Organic)
