Soft, rich yet light. The lemon flavor is pronounced here; as is often the case with Kallari chocolates, the added flavor takes the lead while the chocolate remains in the background. We still get to enjoy Kallari’s fresh chocolate, which blends pleasantly. The salt likely adds a subtle touch but is very discreet.
It’s subtle, but it’s present beneath Pacari’s classic cacao. A slight note of lemon zest lifts this chocolate. Rather than the acidity of a lemon tart, it’s the citrusy side — like candied lemon — that comes through with a touch of bitterness. It complements the cacao’s roundness well.
Quite sweet — as one might expect from a 55% chocolate — this Leyenda bar is fruity, with flavors that evolve between citrus, raisins and wine-soaked prunes. It’s a nice surprise, an original chocolate of good quality.
Rich, creamy, chocolatey. Yes — a chocolate that tastes of chocolate: I dare say it because that’s what comes to mind. This bar does not seek originality in unusual tones; rather it offers the flavors you’d expect from a chocolate gelato or a delicious molten cake, perhaps with a hint of nut or hazelnut. It is, however, its quality — balanced sugar, a well-hidden bitterness in the background, a smooth and creamy chocolate — that makes this Imbabura chocolate stand out.
I’ll admit it — apart from second-hand smoke, I have never been in contact with tobacco, neither by smoking nor chewing. So this is my first experience with the plant!
