| Maker's comments | "El Oro", is a land that has given Ecuador top positions around the world when it comes to the work of its people. Agriculturally rich, the explosive production of fruit can be hardly believed. It has been aptly named the banana capital of the world. El Oro, a province surrounded by enchanted islands and mangroves produces some of the finest bananas to be found, pineapples, all types of exotic fruit, and of course unique Cacao "Arriba". |

| Tasting Experience | This single origin for the "Oro" province is another Arriba from the Republica del Cacao. OPening the air tight wrapper delivers a strong chocolatey and earthy aroma. The dark bar breaks nicely and melts in the mouth confirming the earthy aromas. The texture is very nicely creamy, probably due to tthe somehow reduced cacao percentage (67%). The after taste is chocolatey with a hint of acidity at the end. But so weak that it does not reduce the pleasure of this great chococlate. Overall, a wonderful bar providing an excellent experience. |
