Welcome to Day #21 of Chocolate and Fruits Theme Week.

Today's Nature's Candy: Soursop 70% Cacao Nicaragua O'Payo dark chocolate (bar) was made by The Organic House (Burlington, ON, Canada). 

Aroma and flavor notes for this exotic fruit flavored chocolate included: bold, smooth dark chocolate; warm spice (brown sugar); and glimmers of fruits (the refreshing aspect of a cucumber + the tart sweetness of a blend of mango, orange and a pineapple with sweet banana and cacao fruit pulp toward the end). "Nature's Candy" indeed.

Texture: This bar was well-executed, smooth-textured chocolate. I'm not sure how the makers infused the soursop fruit into the cacao (use of freeze-dried fruit, or nibs/cocoa butter infused in macerated fruit, etc.); but there were no detectable fruit bits in the chocolate--just fresh-tasting fruit flavor(s).

I appreciated the soursop and the single origin Nicaragua cacao flavors -- conjured from a short list of just four ingredients--all organic, except for the soursops.

Maker's Tasting Notes: "Tart and tangy, with passion fruit and citrus notes."

Ingredients: "Organic cacao beans*, Organic coconut flower nectar*, Organic cacao butter*, Soursops (*Organic)"

Allergen-related information: "May contain: Almonds, Cashews, Hazelnuts, Oats, Pecans"

* Soursop (Annona muricata) and cacao (Theobroma cacao) have several things in common. Both fruits grow on trees and are native to Central and South America. And both were brought to (and are being cultivated in) Africa and in many other tropical countries. Soursop fruit is known for having a mix of tropical fruit notes including banana, mango and pineapple; and exact flavors may vary by cultivar.
