Patty Pan Cooperative Ecuador - Single Origin

This bar has a smooth surface, but when a piece is snapped off the interior of the bar has a granular appearance. This carries through to the texture of the chocolate when tasted -- somewhat granular. This texture might have been fixed with better tempering. The taste is fairly bitter. The bar does not list the cacao percentage, but I would estimate at least 75% cacao. Side flavors are minimal. The aftertaste is persistent due to the level of bitterness. 6.7

Ingredients: Organic Fair Trade Ecuadorean cacao, organic sugar, organic cocoa butter

Though the bar lists the above website on the front, that page has no mention of the chocolate products. I received this bar as a gift from my wife's sister in Seattle where the Patty Pan Cooperative is located. There is mention of their chocolate bars on a Facebook post.
