We conclude the short month of February with a chocolate review. A colleague gave this to chocolate bar as a pasalubong from a trip to Europe earlier this year.
 |
| This chocolate was a 'pasalubong' from one of our faculty who traveled to Europe last year to participate in an academic conference. |
 |
| Details about the chocolate at the back of the pack. You can see that this is local and artisanal. |
 |
| The ingredients indicate the cacao content (pure chocolate) to be at 85%. |
 |
| This is a Fair trade chocolate. The best before date is also indicated. This is something that many now interpret as contrary to the expiration date. That means the chocolate is still good to eat after the BB date but is not as good as before the date. Expiration dates suggest that the chocolate (or any other product) can no longer be eaten after the date, often resulting in unnecessary waste. |
 |
| The chocolate is wrapped and sealed in foil. This helps preserve the chocolate. |
I thought this was one of the better chocolates we've enjoyed eating. It was smooth for an 85% chocolate. I was expecting this to be on the bitter side as far as dark chocolates are concerned but the bitterness is lighter and perhaps more like 60% chocolates. I'm not sure this is available here but I definitely will purchase a bar or two if I see this in a shop.
