Kakaw Belize 70% "kakaw"

This is the first Belizean chocolate I have tasted.  It has a very sharp snap when broken.  Also, it's fairly bitter for a 70% bar.  There are mostly nutty flavor notes, though I taste some faint cherry elements.  This bar is worth additional tastings, but it will be difficult -- it was brought home from Belize by a colleague who vacationed there.  That makes it a good excuse to plan a trip to Belize!  7.9
