Maglio Peru Tingo Maria 65% Cacao

While the cocoa flavor is very assertive, there is a nice fruity background to this bar. A hint of pear and a dash of lemon come through. The aftertaste is mild, but rich. 8.1

The packaging for this bar is novel. It is a small 3 inch square package for a  50 gram (1.76 oz) bar. Just the right size to carry with you for a treat.

  1. From the label:
    "In the Peruvian Amazonian forest there is an old plantation that has been running by Saavedra of Castillo family for a long period. They cultivate a surprising hybrid Amazonian 'Criollo.' The chocolate produced by this plantation, which has 65% cocoa, is unique, savours of fruit and has a slightly acid aroma."
