This bar has a lot of flavor themes running through the taste. There is a fruity aspect, which has plum as the theme, there is a buttery aspect, with caramel as the theme, and finally there is a roasted aspect, with a hint of charcoal. The latter element contributes to a bitter edge in the finish, resulting in a lengthy aftertaste. 7.9
Ingredients: Cocoa beans*, raw cane sugar*, cocoa butter*

One of the benefits of tasting craft chocolate from around the world is learning of the people and geographies where the cacao originates and where the cacao is manufactured into chocolate. I am quite familiar with the Kokoa Kamili plantation where this bar's cacao originates (from other bars tasted for ChocoCheck), however I was not as familiar with the Italian province of South Tyrol, where Karuna Chocolate is located. This area borders on Austria, and has a German-speaking majority according to Wikipedia. The company's website is worth a visit to meet the makers and see the other Karuna products they make.
