Sharply bitter with a long aftertaste. Earthy flavors dominate, with nutmeg. 6.5
I previously reviewed the Escazu Carenero Venezuela 81% cacao that I picked up on my trip to Raleigh, the home town for Escazú. I was not able to buy the Costa Rica 65% bar at their store, but I was able to find it at one of my go-to chocolate stores here in the city, Chocolate Covered in Noe Valley.
I like this bar a little more than the Venezuela bar, but not a lot more. There are no nibs in this bar, but the surface has the same flaws -- small mold errors. I'm glad I had a chance to compare this to the 81%, but I have the same bottom line reaction to this bar.
