Welcome to Day #5 of Chocolate & Earth, Mountains, Forests & Gardens Theme Week.
Today's Karu Chocolates Jungle Dark 85% Cacao Via Sofia, Cordoba, Colombia (bar) was made in Bogota, Colombia, and distributed (in the U.S.) by Tropicalia LLC.
Aroma and flavor notes for this hearty, ultra-dark bar included: dark chocolate (deep, chocolate-y), peppers, and dried fruit (cacao pulp, mango, dark berry).
Texture: thick, rich and creamy melt and mouthfeel
I loved the deep and balanced aroma and flavor notes, and that this bar wasn't too sweet (thank you) or too bitter for an 85%er.
Last, but not least, this bar was made--with a short list of (just two) ingredients--"in country" (in the same country where the cacao was grown).
Ingredients: Cacao, unrefined cane sugar
Allergen-related information: "Produced in facilities processing milk and nuts"
