This bar puts its bitterness out front. It is present at the start of tasting and remains to the aftertaste. Caramel flavor can be tasted, as well as hazelnut. The bar melts very slowly in the mouth, meaning that chewing will be the most likely tasting mode. Chewing releases the flavor quickly, bringing out some faint sweetness. 7.5

From the label:
ReplyDelete"Simple things often matter most. It is possible to take a raw material and, with care, elevate it beyond expectation. Such is the case with the cacao of Bachelor's Hall Estate in Jamaica and its owner, Desmond Jadusingh. The cacao is from hybrids, fermented for 7 days. Many farms do this, but the care taken with this raw material is abundantly evident. With this in mind, we have tried to honor this ingredient with gentle treatment to bring out the aromas of star fruit, spices, tobacco, and cocoa."
