Fresco Peru Marañón Recipe 229 70% cacao

This bar has a very fruity profile, with raspberry and concord flavors. It is also very smooth with a clean aftertaste. 9.0

The previous bar from Madagascar is 74% cacao bar which was produced with light roast and medium conche. This bar from Peru is 70% cacao produced with medium roast and long conche. I like this Peru bar considerably better -- but it it not clear whether it is the cacao percentage, the roast or the conche which has produced that result. The remaining bars from Fresco may help clarify these differences.
