Rights Chocolate Negro - 60% Sin Azucar
The box is pretty, but it looks more like an 80s American candy store than a fine chocolate. And yet. And yet!
Minka - 43% Dark Milk - Communidad Shiwa Urku
The British speak of a cloud of milk in their tea - and the expression is spot on. With arriba cocoa, I often find that the milk hides the nuances and appeal like a cloud hides a starry sky.
Mayta Luxury Ecuadorian Chocolate - 70% Puro
This little bar is exactly the same shape as the Minka ones. The taste also has a similar touch: there are surely links between the two and similarities in the chocolate-making technique.
Mayta Luxury Ecuadorian Chocolate - 55% Single Origin Puero Quito
For its lightest-bodied chocolate, at 55%, Mayta offers a light chocolate, reminiscent above all of honey and caramel, finishing on a tangy note.
Mindo Chocolate - 67% Sal y Pimienta
Any cook will tell you: salt and pepper enhance taste and flavor. This is also the case here with this Mindo chocolate. The blend adds finesse and lightness to what is always an extraordinary cocoa.
