Arriba Nacional Cacao beans from Hacienda Victoria, an estate in Ecuador.
An 85% bar with only 15% sugar. We were surprised we had not yet tasted this bar. I think we may have previously been put off by the high percentage. We made a mistake! This was such an interesting tasting experience. We are calling it the Contradictory Bar. Why? It has a strong chocolate flavour, but it's surprisingly sweet. Definitely not bitter. It starts with mild earthy flavours with a bit of custard mixed in, then suddenly it turns into a tangy fruit chocolate. As you are starting to process the change, it goes mellow again into something mildly nutty in flavour and like a smooth peanut butter texture. The packaging artwork perfectly depicts the flavour ride you go on with this bar. Waves of different flavours coming and going. We are very glad we tried it.
