It’s a beautiful chocolate bar with a deep hue. The texture is silky, despite a slightly rough edge. The flavor quickly becomes powerful. The initial impression is that it’s an excellent… but classic chocolate. A delicious brownie taste, very pleasant and warm but not particularly unique. However, when you take the time, you discover rare hints of strawberry and lemon, showcasing the finesse of the cocoa used.
Monarque is a Montreal-based chocolatier—not Ecuadorian. It comes as a surprise during a visit to the fine chocolate shop “État de Choc”: Ecuadorian cocoa… but different from the others.
Another 100% chocolate that defies stereotypes. Conexion demonstrates here a fine and light cocoa. After a brief intense kick of black pepper and whiskey, the melting chocolate releases gentle notes of violet and licorice.
This chocolate from Rights is very enjoyable. The round taste of cane sugar, quite prominent, pairs well with the acidity of uvillas (a type of ground cherry). The fine and light cocoa from Rights completes the picture, creating a warm blend with hints of peach and honey.
Mint chocolate… What could be more classic? Did I hear you say After Eight?
