TAking a Cable Car to Peru with the Wellington chocolate Factory

The Wellington Chocolate Factory bought out 2 new flavours, so it was a great opportunity to try them and a couple of other bars we haven't tried yet.

We bought:  Wellington Chocolate Factory
Vanuatu 70% Dark Chocolate
Peru  70% Dark Chocolate
​The 120 Years Wellington Cable Car Limited Edition Salted Caramel bar
The Duck Island Collaboration Ambrosia Milk Chocolate

WELLINGTON CHOCOLATE FACTORY VANUATU DARK CHOCOLATE

70% 
Origins: Vanuatu, Larevat farm, Amelinado cacao beans.

Fragrance is like dark chocolate covered raisins.
The taste does have notes of raisin but also an earthiness.  There is almost a marmite tang flavour note, that along with the dried fruity, earthiness is quite yummy.
We liked it.  Big Bruce said it was too strong for him.

WELLINGTON CHOCOLATE FACTORY PERU DARK CHOCOLATE

 Very Cute Artwork by Simon Morse
70%
Origins: Peru, Norandino Cooperative, organic Piura Bianco Criollo Cocoa beans.

The fragrance is dark and plummy. 
There is a strong dark chocolate flavour, rich in fruitiness and plum notes.  Joni's favourite single origin comes from Peru, and this bar doesn't disappoint.  We thought this bar would be gorgeous as a chocolate mousse.  We will make it some time and share the results.

There is a lovely saltiness from the brittle.  There are notes of honey and raisin and blended with the brittle it makes a very yummy mouthful.

WELLINGTON CHOCOLATE FACTORY DUCK ISLAND ICECREAM COLLABORATION
Ambrosia Milk Chocolate 50% Cacao

Artwork by Lara Brock
Yoghurt and Cherry Milk chocolate, made with Vanuatu cocoa, topped with Great Day Mallow vanilla and raspberry marshmallows.

We really enjoyed our Duck Island chocolate icecream, ( it was a knock out round winner), so we were excited for this one.

The fragrance is marshmallowy, chocolatey, and salty.
The taste is sweet notes of berry and honey, and it has yoghurt tang flavours.  It really is like eating a chocolate and berry yoghurt icecream in a chocolate bar form.  Wellington chocolate factory are so clever in doing this in their bars.  We remembered their Scapegrace bar and how it was really like eating a chocolate gin and tonic.  They have done the same with the captured yoghurt icecream experience.

We loved this one.  The whole family did, and it was gone so quickly.  It was a Chocolate Gazette Rosette Winner for us!
