Washu - 70% Cacao
Made with arriba nacional cacao, this fruity and creamy chocolate recalls orange blossom water, cinnamon and apple. It’s rather light; give it time to express itself, but it’s clearly worth it.
Herencia Esmeraldas - 70% Cacao
Rich and light, delicate and powerful, this is a balanced and controlled bar. Rather woody notes, a slight hazelnut flavor and a touch of fresh grape present themselves with a silky, melting texture.
Teaone - 65% Chocolate
I finally managed to find a new Teaone bar and try it.
Kallari - Sacha - 62% Cacao - Ali Kayak - Lemon & Andean Salt
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.
Pacari - Organic Chocolate with Lemon Essence – 60% Cacao
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.
