BAR TASTING
| Cacao Flavor | Strong |
| Roasted Nuts | Moderate |
| Fruitiness | Very strong |
| Tasting Experience | This is an exceptional chocolate. Opening the wrapper delivers a strong fruity flavour mixed with cacao aroma. While melting gently it continues delivering the fruity and pleasant aroma. The total absence of bitterness makes it feel sweet, but there is no sugar smell. The after taste is the same wonderful fruity aroma. A rare experience. |
