Description
From a fine single origin cacao, this bar has attractive earth, toffee and stone scents on the nose; a creamy mouth-feel for a dark bar, with a light and balanced mid-mouth; floral, cherry and coffee flavours, caramel base notes, and nutty cocoa highlights. This is quite the approachable dark chocolate. The deep intensity of this chocolate reflects the rainforest from which it hails – Fortaleza sits at the edge of the Ecuadorian coast, where the world’s richest soil and the shade of the forest canopy create an ideal environment for native cacao.
