I mentioned a second Alluvia bar. I opened this while the Clairvoyant was away last May but felt I had to seeing the 'Best Before' to be a year after the production date. It was a good excuse. :)

| Alluvia's dark chocolate with cocoa nibs |
 |
| Details on the chocolate at the back of the package including the price tag |
 |
| The cacao used for the chocolate is from an area in the Mekong Delta |
 |
| There's no mention about the minimum cacao content and not so much details about the nutritional value. |
 |
| The wrapper reminded me of the movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" with its golden ticket |

| Seal for this high quality chocolate |
This bar turned out to be a good one despite it being way past the "Best Before" indication. I didn't get a tummy ache from eating this chocolate (over a few days) so I think its time in the refrigerator preserved it enough. It was not as smooth as the first Alluvia bar but then perhaps that's because I didn't eat it at at time it was supposed to be eaten. Add to that the cocoa nibs infused in the chocolate that also influenced the taste. I would recommend this chocolate for those who go to Vietnam and want to find some nice souvenirs. The quality, for me, was a pleasant but not a big surprise considering they should be able to grow high quality cacao in Vietnam where they already produce top quality coffee.
