Buena Vista Cuba 65% by @nearynogschocolate
When I picked up this bar at the SF @craftchocolateexperience Neary Nógs tragically had most of their chocolate still stuck in customs at LAX and so they had limited options available, one of which was this bar. I’d only had their Irish inclusion bars up to this point so trying one of their single origin bars was of interest (thank goodness it wasn’t stuck in customs hundred of miles away!).
Also funny was my first tasting experience with this bar: It was late at night when I first photographed and tasted it after having tasted multiple other bars right before. I’m sure that must have contributed to my experience of smelling and tasting DRIED SAVORY HERBS (think de Provence) in this bar at first!
Upon second tasting I don’t get those herbs, rather the lightly nutty, fudgy and woody flavors suggested on the package with subtle hints of molasses and banana.
Have you ever had WILDLY different taste experiences with the same bar on different days??
