Vanini 86% cacao

This bar is very bitter, with a long lasting aftertaste that makes the mouth pucker. Behind the bitter facade is a clean dark chocolate, with few side flavors. A colleague thought she tasted cherries and tannins. 6.7

From the label:
"The Amazon rainforest, still partly unspoiled and with a wealth of unexplored areas, continues to reveal many of its hidden treasures, among which is Bagua cocoa, grown as far back as 3000 [B.C.] by the Mayo Chincipe people, who used it to prepare beverages well before the Maya and the Olmec.
"The 'original' cocoa, with its authentic, refined flavor, yields results of outstanding quality. Bagua cocoa can be used for exclusive, pleasant tasting recipes able to appeal to all lovers of chocolate and indeed to the most demanding connoisseurs."
