Standout Madagascar Sambirano 70% cacao

The origin for the cacao from this bar is quite familiar, and I would expect its flavors to be fruit-forward, with an edgy towards citrus. There is some of this, but the initial taste is all about the fudgy chocolate experience. The fruit aspect develops from this towards berry, along with a taste of honey. The aftertaste is clean and brief. 9.2

Ingredients: Cacao beans*, Cane sugar*
*Organic

Standout Chocolate is located in Sweden, near Gothenburg. The back of the label lists four awards they have received: 2020 Silver European International Chocolate Awards, 2021 Bronze Academy of Chocolate, Great Taste 2021 and Great Taste 2020 Small Artisan Producer of the Year. While it is not clear whether this specific bar was a part of these awards, the producers know their stuff in making chocolate.
