Hogarth Fiji Matasawalevu 73% cacao

Very rich, dark chocolate. Quite bitter for 73% cacao. Tannic, with a molasses underlay. Long aftertaste. Bracing. 7.9

Ingredients: Cocoa beans, pure cane sugar, pure cocoa butter.

This is the first chocolate of Fiji origin I have tasted on ChocoCheck. It is also the first bar from Hogarth Craft Chocolates that I have tasted.  I always enjoy a beautiful mold, and Hogarth has a fine one which echos the ship-on-turbulent-sea motif on the wrapper.

From the label:
"On Vanua Levu, the beautiful Matasawalevu farm produces superbly fermented Forestero Amelonado cacao, from which we made this bar. Be transported in a rich bittersweet chocolate with notes of dried pineapple and prune."
