Moni Peru Raw Vegan 74% cacao

There is a stark cacao taste that introduces this bar to the palate. The flavors are earthy and slightly roasted. The earthy taste leans towards olives, while the roasted taste is akin to bread. The aftertaste is dry and it lingers a bit. 6.8  

Ingredients: Organic Raw Cacao, Unrefined Organic Coconut Sugar, Organic Raw Cacao Butter

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.
