Welcome to Day #8 of Chocolate & Central America Theme Week.
Today's Guatemala 70% Dark Chocolate Bar was manufactured by Bixby & Co. (Rockland, Maine).
Aroma and flavor notes for this bar included: dark chocolate (chocolate-y, very slightly roast-y); diffuse tart-sweet/tropical fruit; very faint (warm) spice and floral (cinnamon + vanilla).
Texture: smooth, dark chocolate with an even melt, with very subtle fruit astringency.
I appreciated the makers' choice of a short list of three, organic ingredients, and the subtle complexity of the chocolate and the inherent fruit notes.
Ingredients: "Organic Cacao Beans, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Cacao Butter."
Allergen-related information: "Manufactured in a facility that processes: milk, peanuts, soy, and tree nut ingredients."
