Welcome to Day #12 of Chocolate & Mint Theme Week.
Today's Fresh Mint Milk Chocolate 54% Batch #1 (bar) was from Fruition Chocolate Works (Shokan, NY).
The cacao used to make this bar was grown in the Semuliki Forest in Uganda. (Sourcing Partner: Latitude Trade Co.)
Aroma and flavor notes included mint (aromatic, authentic mint/subtle spearmint); dark chocolate (subtler chocolate aroma with stronger flavor notes: dark, fudgy, single origin chocolate/ganache.
Texture: smooth and relatively creamy, dark milk chocolate.
Mint chocolates often are candy-level sweet. Happily today's bar was balanced, i.e. not overwhelmingly sweet or minty.
The mint tasted natural--closer to spearmint than vibrant peppermint candy. (The type of mint was not identified on the packaging; but the makers did use both fresh mint and mint oil.)
And the light touch of vanilla (beans) seemed just right.
Maker's description: "Fresh mint is blended into a creamy 54% milk chocolate crafted from intense and fudgy Ugandan cacao."
Ingredients: Cocoa Beans, Cane Sugar*, Whole Milk Powder, Cocoa Butter*, Mint, Vanilla Beans, Mint Oil, Salt (* = Organic)
