Sirene Peru Tingo Maria 73% cacao

This bar has a buttery texture leaning towards malt flavor. It also has faint citrus notes.  The aftertaste is mild, though the flavor persists fairly long. 8.8

The label has an interesting note: "Deep in the Amozonian jungle of Peru grow the flavourful beans of Ucayali River Cacao. This area has not been historically known for fine cacao, but some farmers there are now beginning to abandon cocaine production to focus on cacao."

Also interesting are the six accolades this bar has won from 2016 to 2019.  Well done!
