This bar is fairly bitter, not unexpected for a bar with a cacao content above 70%. The flavors that surface include a touch of vanilla and a fig component. The aftertaste carries the bitterness and persists for a moderate duration. 6.7
Ingredients: Cocoa beans, Organic whole cane sugar
I purchased this bar at a Farmer's Market which took place at the Inner Richmond district of the city. The maker is located in Berkeley where he has a store. I had not heard of his product before encountering his stand at the market and asked whether he considered offering it at our city's chocolate store with the most variety, Chocolate Covered. He said that he prefers selling at Farmer's Markets to avoid the loss of revenue from needing to offer wholesale prices to such stores.
The price asked for this bar at this market was incredible: $15 for a 30 gram (1 oz.) bar. I consider this pricing excessive.
The mold they used for the bar, though, is pretty nice.
