Another Ocho Trio

---

We always look forward to trying some bars from Ocho.  Ocho is a Dunedin based chocolate making company, that use good quality beans and  have some interesting flavours.  This time we stuck to some more traditional flavours:
70% Cacao Solomons
Short Black
Salted Caramel

OCHO 70% CACAO SOLOMONS
Single Origin, Solomon Islands Cacao beans, dark chocolate.

The fragrance is slightly raisin and dark chocolate.
The taste is strong and tastes just like it smells.  It is fruity and tastes like a chocolate covered raisins with nice full flavours and a hint of berry.

OCHO SHORT BLACK 
Coffee, cacao nib, vanilla and 70% Papua New Guinea Cacao beans.

It has a strong aroma of dark chocolate.
The first tasting notes are plum, dark fruity chocolate with coffee.  There is a nice crunch with the cacao nibs and the later flavour notes that come through are woody and slightly floral.  This bar is nice with good strong flavours.

OCHO SALTED CARAMEL
49% Papua New Guinea cacao beans, vanilla, chunks of salted caramel.

The fragrance is chocolatey and slightly coconut.
It has a nice crunch with the caramel brittle.  There is also a nice sweetness from the brittle.  The flavours are a nice blend of mild salty, fruity and wood.  It makes a tasteful combo.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Another enjoyable bite into Ocho chocolate.
