| Tasting Experience | The uniqueness and reputation of the "Chuao" Venezuelan cacao bean make it a special event to taste this bar. Opening the "Hotel Chocolat" vertical box and wrapper delivers a complex mix of cacao, bitterness and fruitiness. When melting in the mouth, the creamy and pleasant texture delivers a succession of aromas going from roasted nuts to fruity raisins or prunes and hints of tobacco, with a pervasive soft cacao bitterness enhanced by a shadow of acidity. The after taste is not very long but remains full of many sensations and signs-off with short acid note. Overall a rare experience for sophisticated chocolate lovers. |
