Friis Holm "La Dalia" 100% dark chocolate

Maker: Friis Holm
Percentage: 100%
Origins: Nicaragua

Description: (from the packaging): Made with a mix of cacao varieties from known and unknown old heritage trees from ten growers in the La Dalie region of Nicaragua.  They refuse to sort them by type! But this mix ferments so well-- one of the best we have ever tasted.

Strong aromatic acidity with deep cacao notes.

MY REVIEW:

Rating: 7/10

Mouthfeel: Silky, buttery

Flavor Notes: Black currant, vanilla, half and half, tree bark, ground pine nuts

Details: This chocolate is both delicate and flavorful.  It lands on my tongue with the rich splendor of light cream and vanilla, and gradually reveals darker notes as it melts and coats my mouth. This chocolate unfolds in waves, and is an intricate call to slow presence.
