Arriba cocoa beans from the Esmeraldas rainforests in Ecuador, more specifically the Pacific Cloudforest
The flavour was cocoa rich, milky, fudge, delicious. It had a berry brightness to it, and later online I read "red summer fruit", so that was real

The ingredients are good, and always good with Original Beans: direct-trade cacao beans*, cacao butter*, raw cane sugar*, milk*, fleur de sel - *organic
Hey!
ReplyDeleteI've just stumbled upon your blog and I love it. I'm new to the world of craft chocolate and I am astounded by people's ability to recognize very specific notes in a bar. How do you learn to do that? For example, I can only say that I sense something fruity, while other will call it black cherry or pineapple.
Anyway, thank you for your reviews, they are fun way to learn about some new chocolates :)
Incredibly late response, apologies.
DeleteHowever, thank you for taking time to comment!
I hope you have developed ability to say what specific notes you are picking up? It is a skill that slowly develops!
