Very flavorful bar. The label mentions flavors of bergamot and cinnamon. Looks like I need to expand my flavor experience, as I am not familiar with the specifics of bergamot. On the web one person describes it as a "sweet lemon", but the label refers to it as being more like an orange. There is a flavor thread that has a citrus component, so this description is apt, but I am hard pressed to distinguish any cinnamon. None-the-less, this is a great bar with flavor to grab one's interest. Another excellent bar from Amano. 9.5

From the label:
ReplyDelete"Where the mountains meet the sea on the "toe" of Italy, orchards of the exotic bergamot orange, sway in rows to peaceful ocean breezes. During our travels in the Dominican Republic, we discovered cocoa beans that naturally taste like bergamot, cinnamon, and clove. I developed special techniques specifically to preserve the delicate flavor of these beans, Unique in all the world this chocolate will amaze, astound, and fill your senses with the passion of chocolate, bergamot, and spice."
