Great flavor bursts from this bar, citrus, cherry and some vanilla. Relatively low bitterness and a nice refreshing aftertaste. The label suggests "strawberry" and an "almond-caramel finish." I am not getting the strawberry, but given the suggestion I can agree that there might be some caramel and possibly almond in the package. Well executed. 9.2
The label gives a lot of detail on this bar's manufacture. It's listed as "Batch No. 1," and the batch was by "AN" and the bar was packaged by "MG." While we may not know who is behind these initials, knowing who performs each step is a good way for Dandelion to control quality of production. This would not work with a high-volume manufacturer, but works for smaller houses.

ReplyDelete"We made this bar with a new harvest of beans from Bertil's farm in Madagascar. After Cam and Alice visited last fall, we brought in a full container of beans and are thrilled with the result. This time, we find notes of strawberry and citrus with an almond-caramel finish."
