First tasting:Slight hint of coffee. Slightly bitter. But smoothe taste. Some mango? 7 revised to 8 on further consumption.
Second tasting:
I'll have to revise this back to 7. I'm noticing that the coffee flavor is stronger, maybe the bitterness too. The tropical fruit taste is still there, so while it's an interesting mix, on the whole the flavors I like less seem to dominate.
The wrapper for this product has the following blurb describing it:
ReplyDelete"Single-origin chocolate with 65% cocoa solids content has special characteristics: a great bouquet and an aroma that lingers in your mouth. Its body and taste are remarkable, and finely combined with flavors reminiscent of nuts and exotic fruits, and mildly scented fresh flowers. A great companion for full-bodied red wines and strong cheeses."
Well, I'm with them for the "exotic fruits" part. I don't get the nuts or the fresh flowers. I would agree that this chocolate could stand up to strong cheeses -- which I take to mean cheeses with strong flavors of their own.
