This is a 55% dark chocolate with dried apricots and rosemary.
The rosemary is the dominant but not overpowering flavour in the chocolate. You can taste the chocolate as a mild background note, and the apricots add a nice sweet tang with the apricot flavours coming through at the end. The rosemary is quite refreshing. We actually think we might prefer to mint in chocolate. The apricot does add the needed sweetness to it. It is a nice and unusual combo for chocolate. We started talking about what single origins, rosemary might suit. Maybe the ashiness of the Papua New Guinea Kulkul Karkar volcanic island cacao bean, or the earthy, sandalwood, apricot notes of the beans from Peru, Ucalayi River. Rosemary in chocolate was a pleasant surprise.
