Mt. Shasta Bar Dark Chocolate
This specialty chocolate tastes about as expected -- chocolaty. The vanilla in the ingredients dominates the flavor. Not bad, but not great.
Ingredients: Bittersweet chocolate (chocolate liquor processed with potassium carbonate, sugar, cocoa butter, butter oil), soya lecithin and pure vanilla.
This bar represents the Mount Shasta area of California, a couple hours north of the bay area. We traveled to Madras, OR for Eclipse 2017, and our first stop was near Mt. Shasta. Unfortunately, the smoke from fires further north has encroached on the area, so the mountain was not very visible.
We continued on north to Madras, where the air was much clearer.
The label indicates that this bar was produced by Chocolate de Nannette in Redding, CA for Mt. Shasta Products: www.chocolatdenannette.com

Maverick Belize 70% cacao
I have greatly enjoyed previous Belize origin chocolate bars (such as the highest rated bar on Chococheck, Dick Taylor Belize Organic 72% cacao), and I will add this bar to the group. It is quite flavorful, with cherry and hazelnut notes. The aftertaste is very clean. 9.4
