This is a bar was one of the one we bought from Baron Hasselhoff's when we attended the Wellington ChocStock Festival. The Cheese Bar is 60% Vanuatu Origin Cacao milk chocolate. It is blended with an award winning aged danbo cheese from Hohepa Cheese. Here is a link to the cheese: Hohepa Danbo Cheese
They say on the cheese website that Danbo is similar to Dutch Gouda. When we sampled it at ChocStock, we could immediately taste the cheese as well as the chocolate. We opened the chocolate bar after lunch with the Wellington Gazetters. Because part of our lunch was a cheese, some of us found it nullified the taste of the cheese in the chocolate. Peter tasted it as an aftertaste. Johanan tasted it straight away, but the rest of us could only taste the cheese in the chocolate after we drank some water and cleansed our palates. This is a clever blending of flavours. The slightly yeasty, sour tang of cheese and chocolate flavours go so well together. There is a sweetness that is just right, and even though it is a milk chocolate, the chocolate comes through quite strong. We really enjoyed this one.
