Ajala Peru 73%

Ajala make chocolate in small batches in the Czech Republic, and have supposedly received high rating by Georg Bernardini in his 'Chocolate: The Reference Standard' book. This chocolate is made with 73% Peruvian cocoa beans and the rest Ecuadorian sugarcane juice 

The aroma was earthy and lime. Here is then the part where I incorrectly say "the taste was...", when really I mean "the flavour". It started bitter and cocoa, then roasted coffee, jaggery seeps in, raising notes of sweet rum. A rich and intense dark chocolate flavour lingers

The texture was smooth, so smooth. This chocolate was bought from chocolatiers.co.uk
