Baron Hasselhoff's Papua New Guinea Manabu 72% cacao

There is a rough texture to this bar, similar to my experience of raw chocolates. The label does not indicate that it was made using raw chocolate processing techniques. Some notes of dried fruit, such as raisin, come through, as well of some toffee taste. The aftertaste is persistent, though not very bitter. 7.8

This bar is made with coconut sugar and is noted to be "raw." This usually indicates that the bar processing does not heat the indregients to a high degree and is minimally processed. Compared to other raw cacao bars I have tasted, this bar does not have sugar crystals, perhaps due to the use of coconet sugar.

The bar also has a slightly elevated cacao percentage, which, combined with the use of coconut sugar, results in a bar which reportedly has a lower glycemic index, making it better for people concerned about maintaining moderate blood sugar levels.
