Solomons Gold Vegan Dark Mylks

Solomon Gold is based in Mt Maunganuit , New Zealand and produce chocolate bars from single origin cacao beans from the Solomon Islands.  Their bars are ethical, vegan and organic.  We love Dark Milk chocolate, so when we saw they had vegan versions, we had to try.  The milk ingredient in these bars is organic coconut milk powder.

DARK MYLK 45%

The chocolate is lovely and smooth.  It is tangy and coconut is the prominent flavour, followed by the chocolate.  This is more on the dark side than milky.  It is a pleasant bar.

DARK MYLK ORANGE 45%

This chocolate is flavoured with orange oil.  It is smooth also and quite sweet.  The orange is the prominent flavour and even covers the coconut milk flavour.  Mild chocolate flavours come through, but it mostly orange.  We are not a huge fan of citrus oil flavoured chocolate, so this was our least favourite.

DARK MYLK BERRY 45%

This chocolate is flavoured with natural raspberry.  This is smooth as well.  You can taste the raspberry, which really enhances the fruitiness flavour notes of the chocolate.  Alongside the coconut milk, the raspberry made this bar taste like a raspberry lamington.  This was nice. 

​DARK MYLK CARAMEL 45%

This is flavoured with natural caramel flavour.  The coconut milk alongside the caramel flavour makes a slightly smokey butterscotch flavour which is very nice.  This was our favourite of the Dark Mylks.

​SMOOTH DARK 70%

As well as their Dark Mylks, we also bought their Smooth Dark 70% which is also vegan and organic.
It is also cane sugar free and uses coconut sap sugar instead.
The chocolate is smooth yet snappy.  There is flavour notes of sweet mollasses and a smokiness and tanginess.  It is a nice flavour note combo, with none overpowering the other. 

FINAL THOUGHTS
Solomon Gold chocolate is so smooth!  We really liked the texture of all the chocolate.  The Dark Mylks are nice, being on the darker side in flavour.  The Smooth Dark 70% is our new single origin favourite from the Solomon Islands.
