Some fruit notes. Smooth finish. 7Tasting for this and the next two bars was done in October 2008 at my niece's Halloween party. Each taster was asked to rate the bar on the 1 to 10 scale, using their own calibrations.
Open Tasting Comments:

From the package:
ReplyDelete"On the central coast of Venezuela is a remote valley known as Ocumare de la Costa. Once almost totally inaccessible, the Ocumare region has been known for its superior criollo cacao since at least the early 1700's. We hand selected these beans for their fruity and floral notes that pair well with the rich chocolate flavor. We then carefully roasted them in our antique cacao roaster to enhance their optimal flavor. These are some of the finest cocoa beans we have discovered and from which we have made a chocolate you are sure to enjoy."
