No real excitement in this bar. Basic cocoa, some bitterness, not much else. Very little aftertaste. 7.1madrechocolate.com
$12.50 / 1.5 oz.
Once again I must note the cost of this bar, the last of the trio of Hawaiian chocolate bars I purchased recently. It seems that this bar is pricey due to the low volume of cacao from the 50th State, not due to the exquisite taste. Interestingly, the Waialua Estate bar, which was under $10 for a slightly larger bar (2 oz.) gets the best results.
Madre does make up in style what it is missing in taste interest. The bar was shaped in a mold that displayed some cool polynesian images.
From the label:
ReplyDelete"Made with fine aromatic cacao grown in the fertile, volcanic soils of the Big Island of Hawai'i's beautiful Hamakua Coast, the only state in the US where cacao can grow. This cacao is gently ground for 2 days to reach a rich consistency & unparalleled fruity flavor."
