Today I want to share a surprise favorite from my recent chocolate tasting- 32% white chocolate from @aurochocolate using natural (non-deodorized) cocoa butter.
Many chocolate makers will put their pressed cocoa butter through a steam distillation process to evaporate off the volatile compounds that create natural flavors. This gives a neutral “blank slate” for the cocoa butter for uniformity and presentation of other added flavors. However that process loses those lovely fragrant bean nuances.
Auro here keeps the natural flavors of the Filipino cocoa beans (in the butter) intact and it’s apparent as soon as you unwrap this bar. It’s delightfully fragrant with hints of both earthy beans and the creamy sweetness of white chocolate. It’s not too sweet and unexpectedly full of flavor.
I usually don’t enjoy white chocolate much but this is a welcome exception!
Keep tasting and discovering chocolate, something will always surprise you 😊
