Tasting Experience	It is hard not to be blown away by this incredible bar. Even though the provenance of the bean places the bar very high, tasting this bar is a dream. The mains aromas getting out of the elegant package and wrapper when opening are fruity and floral, yet include a notes of cacao bitterness. While melting, the perfect texture delivers a succession of pleasing incremental aromas that go from the initial fruitiness to cacao with a hint of acidity, just to enhance the whole experience. The after taste is exceptionally long and gently cacao. This is a rare and exception tasting experience.
