Mission Chocolate Brazil Two Rivers 70% cacao

I do not usually start my reviews with comments about the bar itself, but I would say this bar is unique in its composition. Mission Chocolate, a Brazilian chocolate maker, named this bar "Two Rivers" and it is apparent from the bar why. One side is a light chocolate and the other is darker, with the two sides separated by a wavy partition reminiscent of two rivers meeting.  From the website: "The name Two Rivers: Rio Negro + Rio Solimões comes from my boat ride on the Amazon River in the Amazon Rainforest. There is an intersection where these two rivers meet and maintain separate for miles."

This is an amazing inspiration for this bar, and I wonder how it was manufactured to obtain this wavy mix of two cacao origins. On to the review itself.

As further explained on the website, the lighter side has the taste of "brownie, cocoa, and chocolate cake." I would agree with this assessment and note that the bitterness is mild, but the aftertaste is lengthy. The darker side, which the website calls "reddish" has a fruity aspect, with cherry and citrus notes. The bitterness of this side is low and the aftertaste is brief. The rating I would give to the lighter side is 8.9, while the darker side is 9.7.
