| Maker's comments | Hoja Verde dark chocolate is made only from only premium cacao beans grown in the tropical lowlands of Ecuador, one of the planet's most biologically-diverse countries. Ecuadorian cacao has long been recognised as the source of the world's finest beans. The Arriba variety has captivated chocolate connoisseurs with its depth of flavour and its unequal aroma. |

A special cacao experience
BAR TASTING
| Cacao Flavor | Very strong |
| Acidity | Moderate |
| Bitterness | Very strong |
| Fruitiness | Moderate |
| Tasting Experience | At 100% cacao, this chocolate bar is probably not for everyone. It breaks nicely, which is a sign of good tempering, and melts slowly in the mouth. From opening the wrapper, the flavour is definitely very very chocolatey without any sweet side. The after taste is long lasting and earthy and chocolatey. Because it is made of Arriba bean it has some fruitiness in it but overwhelmed by the bitterness of the cacao. Overall, an exceptional experience but not as smooth as you may expect. It is wonderful to eat it with some sweet shortbread or other sweet pastry that does not have much aroma. |
