E. Guittard Columbia Chucuri 65% cacao

Creamy texture with nice flavor overtones. Honey and berries come to mind. Very low bitterness, but the flavors keep the aftertaste engaging. 8.0

Amano Venezuela Chuao 70% cacao

This bar has a subtle flavor profile. I am tasting honey and faint orange flavors. Almost no bitterness, so the aftertaste is gentle. 8.9

I have tasted three other bars with beans from Chuao, Venezuela. My rating have range from 7.7 for Fresco 217 Venezuela Chuao 70% cacao to 9.5 for  Amedei Chuao 70% cocoa.  If you see the comment from the label that I copied for the latter you can see Amedei's version of how rare and extraordinary are Chuao beans. This post will have a similar From the label post. While I am sure that these beans are hard to get, the resulting chocolate is not always superior to other cacao. This bar, though, does a good job with them, and the Amedei bar scored one of my highest ratings, so there's that.

Raaka Ecuador 85% cacao

Earthy flavors, fairly bitter, but an even drop-off and aftertaste. The label mentions almond and molasses flavors. I could imagine that the earthy flavors have a molasses aspect to it, though I am not tasting almond. This bar has a good balance for a high cacao bar. 8.2

Amano Dominican Republic Dos Rios 70% cacao

Very flavorful bar.  The label mentions flavors of bergamot and cinnamon. Looks like I need to expand my flavor experience, as I am not familiar with the specifics of bergamot. On the web one person describes it as a "sweet lemon", but the label refers to it as being more like an orange. There is a flavor thread that has a citrus component, so this description is apt, but I am hard pressed to distinguish any cinnamon. None-the-less, this is a great bar with flavor to grab one's interest. Another excellent bar from Amano. 9.5

Raaka Madagascar 75% cacao

An assertive chocolate, earthy with some nuttiness. Fairly bitter, with a long aftertaste. The label mentions several flavors, none of which I taste: gold plum, rice wine, pistachio. Also mentioned is a "sharp citrus character," which I also do not taste. 6.9

Dandelion Liberia Butuo 70% cacao

This bar has a rich flavor palette. There is an initial earthy flavor on first tasting, but as the chocolate melts other flavors emerge. There was a distinct caramel flavor, something I have not noticed before in other bars. Later as the aftertaste developed, a cinnamon flavor emerged. These are both noted on the label, plus a "butter" flavor, which I did not notice. Once again, a very well made bar from Dandelion Chocolate. 9.4

The label also reports that this bar is made from beans grown by former Liberian child-soldiers, giving them training in growing cacao. For additional information, visit: liberationchocolate.com

Montezuma's Very Dark 73% cocoa

Clean cocoa flavor, with some earthiness. Somewhat bitter, but this fades in the aftertaste. 7.4

This is the last bar from my London/Ireland collection. The label on the back mentions that the cocoa beans come from The Dominican Republic, though this bar is not labeled as a single-origin bar.
