Last week Michael was contacted by an independent chocolate maker in Massachusetts, asking if they could be the official chocolate of Rex Parker. Well, hell yes! Today a parcel arrived with the most beautiful chocolate. It is organic, stone ground (!!) and directly traded with independent cocoa growers. So far, there isn't anything not to love.
Taste Test:
Unlike the Rapunzel chocolate we tried last night, this doesn't smell like rotten fruit. In fact, it smells beautiful and earthy. The texture is grainy but not crunchy - I guess that's the stone grinding. It was, as Michael said, very eatable, not at all waxy, like some dark chocolates we've tried (and we've tried quite a few). The Guajillo Chili was rather spicy and lingered. The vanilla was a little too sweet and I couldn't really taste the tiny-Costa-Rican-plantation grown vanilla. The 70% was good and I'd finish off the whole bar if I was younger.
