Check out the lovely review below! #Repost @jessica__chokolatejourneys with @get_repost γ»γ»γ» Can you guess this International Chocolate Awards, European, 2018 #tttt_silver winner? Swipe to see some very detailed and informative packaging π€ My experience - the mouth feel was thick and dense with a very slow melt. A dry start, but once it began to melt, a creamy element emerged, along with the slow development of flavours. Initially I was met by notes of dense cacao, brown toast, and earthy mushroom. These gave way to dark semi-sweet honey and a prominent raisin note. Notes of orange blossom joined these and led to a dense, chocolaty, honey, floral, raisin finish. Delicious! π₯° #chocolatetasting #chocolatephoto #chocolatephotography #tttt_rainbow #handcraftedchocolate #handmadechocolate #beantobarchocolate #madeinuk #ukchocolate #supportlocalbusiness #singleoriginchocolate #glutenfree #dairyfree #darkchocolate #craftchocolate #chocolatebypost #finechocolate #artisanchocolate #smallbatchchocolate #68percentcacao #craftchocolatecommunity #fortunatonofour #perucacao #directtradecacao #internationalchocolateawards #silverwinner https://www.instagram.com/p/CIAdkR2j9Rg/?igshid=1tqpxwkmvuvfs

#Repost @littlebeetle_chocolates with @get_repost γ»γ»γ» And another blue-purple beauty to finish off #tttt_purple week of our #tttt_rainbow. A very recent addition to my stash, arrived last week or so from lovely Iris&Bob @solkiki_chocolatemaker as a gift π Thank you so much! Did you know that they paint all the packaging designs themselves?! Isn't this one beautiful as well? Gorgeous! π And the chocolate inside? Expect nothing less than ultra-premium deliciousness (although, honestly, isn't it mind-boggling that real good craft chocolate needs to use extreme superlatives to try and differentiate themselves from all those 'premium, excellence, finest' industrial bulk stuff that's out there? π) Cocoa beans from a very young farm, only about 6 years old, so these are probably the earliest harvests. From a region that's also called Cloud Forest, Costa Esmeraldas in Ecuador. Dreamy, huh? βοΈποΈπ₯οΈ The cacao was recognized as part of the World Top 50 by the Cocoa of Excellence program in 2019! π 64% vegan dark-milk (with coconut). Subtle aromas, creamy melt. The coconut is almost not there, tastes more like a lower percentage dark chocolate. Very light acidity and a pleasant flavour of digestive biscuits with hints of caramel. π Thanks again Iris&Bob for this delightful bar π€β₯οΈ https://www.instagram.com/p/CHYetRxDw84/?igshid=1hvowehbnoewi

#Repost @distinguishedbeans with @get_repost γ»γ»γ» π«β€οΈ this week for Red: the Brazil Catongo 70% bar from @elbuencacao has a striking color - much lighter than other bars of the same percentage (shown in the first photo next to Maya Mountain Belize 70%), and with a distinctly reddish hue. This results from the unique characteristics of Catongo cacao, a variety of forastero which, due to a genetic mutation, lacks some of the chemical compounds that typically contribute darker color, bitterness, and astringency. It has a delicate, mild flavor that makes it highly sought after. El Buen Cacao features a rotating selection of origins and I donβt see this bar available right now (check out their other bars though!). So, if you are curious to try Catongo, look for the bar made by @gallettechocolates It is bean-to-bar in Brazil! . Side note - I got these four El Buen Cacao bars from @cococlectic - a monthly bean-to-bar chocolate subscription service. So glad they introduced me to this awesome company! . . . #chocolate #beantobar #bean2bar #beantobarchocolate #craftchocolate #artisanchocolate #smallbatchchocolate #singleoriginchocolate #singleorigin #originchocolate #darkchocolate #chocolat #chocolatebars #chocolatetasting #chocolatetastingnotes #cacao #fineflavorcacao #cacaofinodearoma #cacaobeans #cocoa #cocoabeans #chocolatereview #chocolatereviews #tttt_rainbow #tttt_red #brazil #catongo #cacau #cacaucatongo https://www.instagram.com/p/CFK47kQjkQx/?igshid=11xzxlhe6yig
