Baracoa 65 - Cuban |
The tobacco aroma is good, no mention of Cuban cigar though, but a good powerful beginning. Considering there is only 0.1% of orange oil listed in the ingredients it is fairly pungent and may be overpowering for some people. Mixed with the bitter and slightly rough chocolate producing an almost 'blood orange' taste in the mouth, with a hint of sweetness which is probably the honey. The fruity orange, leaves a slightly bitter feeling on the back of the throat. More zingy than luscious perhaps but this chocolate has plenty of character! The texture is slightly grainy but it melts easily providing plenty of chocolate saliva, so to speak.
LOVE your blog site--I am a professed chocoholic, so this is the site for me!!! I see that you joined my blog Menopausalmother, so I wanted to hop over here to say thanks, and I joined yours as well. It appears under the name Marcia Doyle on your GFC, just so you know it's me. Thanks for sharing!
