Arapegua - 60% - Artisanal Chocolate
Little surprise! I bought this chocolate in Quito… yet it is Argentinian, from the Misiones province bordering Paraguay. It appears to be a limited edition, as the Arapegua cooperative—better known for mate production—no longer offers it in their shop.
It’s a pleasant chocolate, fairly sweet at 60%. At first it seems ordinary, but with attention one finds touches of dried fruits—raisins, apricots—and hints of Alicante nougat.
