Chocolate flavour profile description
This chocolate presents a robust cacao base, moderate acidity and a mix of fresh plums, berries, tropical, yellow, and citrus fruits, and low browned fruits. The smooth mouthfeel reveals undertones of light wood, clear spices, nuts, and subtle hints of caramel. The finish combines cacao with low spice notes.
