Anquria - 63% El Cacao Blanco - Macambo Caramelizado
By now, you’re familiar with macambo — a cousin of cocoa that can be made into a chocolate equivalent (not as good), but can also be added in pieces to a bar, much like a nut. Here, Anquria — a new brand for me — caramelizes it beforehand, adding a touch of praline that I won’t complain about.
The chocolate itself is hard to isolate, but it leans toward the herbal and spicy: tobacco, clove, mushroom. Combined with the macambo, the result is unusual — and quietly compelling.
