Welcome to Day #12 of Chocolate & Water Theme Week.

Today's Loon Chocolate Maine Sea Salt 70% Dark Chocolate (bar) was manufactured by White Birch Living LLC (Manchester, NH). 

Aroma and flavor notes included: smooth, sweet and balanced dark chocolate (dark ganache) and salt--from very thin sea salt flakes sprinkled on one side. 

I liked the balanced chocolate flavor, and the short list of organic ingredients.
