Many flavors compete for attention: citrus, cherry, some earthy bitterness. Together these notes make a symphonic experience. The bitterness is not overpowering, but it is assertive. This is about as good as chocolate can get. 9.8In addition to the excellent taste of this bar, it has a nice design on the bar's surface. The maker is located in the upper regions of Northern California in Arcata.
I've reviewed a couple of other Belize single-origin bars, but this one stands out in flavor. I see that there were also some cherry notes that I noticed with the Kakaw Belize 70% "kakaw" bar, and some earthy aspects to the Cotton Tree Chocolate Belize 70% cocoa bar, but these flavors come together superbly in this bar.
