Amedei Porcelana 70% Cacao





Dreamy. That was my first response when tasting this bar. Sweet and smooth, reminiscent of a Creamsicle® (though no orange flavor here). There is a background bitterness that does not interfere with the experience. The aftertaste rapidly falls off, but the dreamy memories persist. 9.5

I usually put the "notes from the label" as a comment to the review, but in this case the information about the special beans used with this bar is worth a mention here:

From the label:
"White, delicate and fine. Earning it the name Porcelana, it's a pure-bred "Criollo" cocoa, of which only 3000 kilos is made a year. Amedei has the honour of growing it, making it into an incredible flavour, among the most aromatic, well rounded and harmonious found in the book of chocolate."
