It’s finally here! A Kallari chocolate in good condition, that lives up to its name.
Because, as you may know, the previous Kallari chocolate bars I tried had arrived in poor condition.
What is macambo?
It’s a cousin of cocoa, as it also belongs to the theobroma genus (Latin for “food of the gods”).
You could make macambo chocolate, but it’s generally not as good as cocoa chocolate. However, you can put pieces of it in the chocolate: it’s then quite similar to pecan.
Milk chocolate doesn’t get much positive reviews on this blog. Not that I don’t like it - I have a rather sweet tooth - but the addition of milk risks hiding the subtleties of the cocoa.
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.
