Castronovo Peru San Martin 70% cacao

This is an exceptional bar, flavorful and well made. Fruit is the first impression, more cherry than citrus. The bar has a crisp snap and a nice design on the surface. A lot of flavor is packed into a small bar. 9.6

Pascha Peru Organic 70% cacao

This bar has a definite bitter aspect. It is slightly musky, perhaps better called "earthy." These elements linger in the aftertaste. 6.7

This is one of the few single-origin bars that is made and poured at the origin, rather than shipped as beans to another country for manufacture. The challenge to this is that the finished bar is more fragile than the raw beans.
