Dandelion Liberia Butuo 70% cacao

This bar has a rich flavor palette. There is an initial earthy flavor on first tasting, but as the chocolate melts other flavors emerge. There was a distinct caramel flavor, something I have not noticed before in other bars. Later as the aftertaste developed, a cinnamon flavor emerged. These are both noted on the label, plus a "butter" flavor, which I did not notice. Once again, a very well made bar from Dandelion Chocolate. 9.4

The label also reports that this bar is made from beans grown by former Liberian child-soldiers, giving them training in growing cacao. For additional information, visit: liberationchocolate.com

From the label:
"Liberation Cacao is a co-op that rehabilitates and reintegrates former child soldiers, now adults, forced into the Liberian Civil War and trains them to be skilled cacao farmers. In Karen's first bar, we taste earthy notes that melt into caramel, butter and cinnamon."
