Look up mole rojo on the internet: you’ll find that it’s a traditional Mexican chili-based sauce (mole). Since the bar’s package shows a red powdered spice, it seems to me that it must be a form of Latin American paprika.
Confidence: I’m not a big fan of figs. Confidence 2: Except in this chocolate.
Like other Minka Raw 77% bars, this is a somewhat bitter chocolate evoking coffee and pepper. The small quinoa bits, under the bar, bring a bit of body and roundness. They still melt on the tongue and quickly blend into the chocolate.
Minka’s Raw 77% chocolate is a little bitter, herbal, with strong notes of pepper supported by the small pieces of roasted cocoa. Added under the bar, they give a crisp, sharp texture that’s very pleasant.
Sacha cocoa is always surprising. At 80%, it has no bitterness. On the contrary, it is, for lack of a better word, refreshing - like mint. The taste is rather woody, with hints of hazelnut, and a strong buttery feeling.
