Mast Brothers single origin dark chocolate bar – Papua New Guinea
Here’s the second of the three?Mast Brothers?single origin chocolate bars, the Papua New Guinea, that I picked up at my local fancy coffee shop,?Cocoa Cinnamon. I reviewed the Belize last Friday, and I’ll review the Madagascar this Friday. Its wrapper description: “After harvest, these beans are uniquely smoked. This post-fermentation process imparts incredible flavor; think…
Mast Brothers single origin dark chocolate bar – Belize
I’ve written about Mast Brothers Chocolate in several news posts on the blog, but this is my first time reviewing their wares. Mast Brothers is based in NYC, so I hadn’t been able to try them until now – thanks for carrying amazing chocolate bars, Cocoa Cinnamon! I picked up three of their single origin…
Escazú Goat’s Milk Single Origin Carenero Venezeula
After my last experience with Escaz?, I had to have more. Fortunately, there’s a great coffeeshop?right by my gym that sells some of their line, so I nabbed this Escazu? bar with a mouthful of a moniker: Goat’s Milk Single Origin Carenero Venezuela. Like the last bar, this was divided into 24 rectangles. This one…
Askinosie Single Origin Dark Chocolates
I bought this selection of Askinosie Itty Bars at Antonelli’s, this great cheese shop in Austin. They were sort of ridiculously expensive, I think at least $1 per 7 gram bar, but they were a perfect size for a candy blogger! Based on the full-sized chocolate bars on the Askinosie website, I think my Itty…
Amedei Tasting Squares
I picked up this assortment of Amedei tasting squares while I was in Italy. Even though I bought them in the country where they’re made, they were not cheap. Guess that’s par for the course when you make the world’s most expensive chocolate. Each tasting square was about an inch and a quarter square and…
Majani Gran Cru Tasting Squares
I bought these Majani Gran Cru single-origin tasting squares while I was in Italy. I can’t read Italian, but I can puzzle out that they’re made in Bologna. It’s been several months since I bought these, so they had developed a light bloom, but they still tasted just fine. They come in 3 cacao percentages…
TCHO Chocolates – Re-review
After I noted TCHO’s off packaging, they sent me fresh samples with their new packaging. In the months since my roommate bought the pack that I first tasted, TCHO had switched from an inner paper liner (which probably contributed the nasty paper flavor) to an inner foil liner. It seems like they’ve also reformulated the…
TCHO Chocolates
TCHO chocolates have long been on my radar. I finally got to try them when my roommates were kind enough to bring me a variety pack from California. The variety pack contained 2 each of their fruity, chocolatey, nutty, and citrus flavors. All of the squares were about 5 centimeters across the diagonal and quite…
Aequare 70% Chocolate Bar
After I fell in love with Aequare’s 55% bar, how would their (free sample) 70% bar fare? Let’s find out, shall we? Like the 55% (and all of Aequare’s bars), this bar is handmade from single-origin beans. Like all the bars currently for sale, it’s from their Quevedo, Ecuador grower’s summer 2008 harvest. The 70%…
