Waialua Estate Oahu Hawaii 70% cacao

The taste starts off sweet, but opens into a wide rage of floral and fruit flavors. On the floral side I am reminded of freesia. On the fruit side I taste cherry (rainier, not bing) and kiwi fruit. A very nice mix. Low bitterness, and a comfortable aftertaste. 8.0

This bar has an "E. Guittard" logo embossed on the bar. The only other indication of Guittard's provenance comes from that company is a mention on the label notes: "This rare, award-winning chocolate is crafted by Guittard Chocolate Company for Dole Hawaii." Smart move by Dole to enlist Guittard in making this bar.
