A birthday gift of chocolate from my friend!
Casa Bosques @casabosqueschocolate Cardamom Dark Chocolate 70%
This bar is made with white Criollo beans grown on a small ranch in Chiapas, Mexico. Cardamom is sprinkled on the back instead of mixed in; I tend to prefer inclusions that are mixed in. The cardamom comes first on the palate obviously but fades quickly. As a cardamom lover I was surprised how little cardamom features in the flavor journey of this bar. I have a hard time pulling specific flavors out of the beans, aside from acidity and mild tannins. One might perceive some faint floral notes on the finish. I don’t get the smokiness suggested by the package. I did not experience a complex flavor journey with this chocolate. At $17 for the bar I’ll admit it was underwhelming.
Has anyone else tried this bar, or others from this maker? If so I’d love to hear what you tasted! ⬇️
