Well what a chocolate day of tasting and production.
Tasting 100% Madacascar from Koko Black rich chocolate but shallow earthy finish. Rated poorly against our own 100% Vanuatu single press which was very smooth and velvety with a long finish.
The Bolivian 64% from Koko was better with a long lingering flavour but again would be a better chocolate with a longer refining.
Michael Cuizel Madagascan 65% , what a class act easy to see why its one of the world's great chocolate

Michael Cruziel Chocolate now in stock
Now in stock single origin chocolate from bean to bar French chocolate house, Micheal Cruziel
Dark Chocolate 67% cocoa It is on the island of São Tomé, on the Equator off the coast of central Africa, that the first African cocoa plantations were planted in the 19th century. This chocolate, born from a volcanic and marine soil, reveals toasted, spicy and herbaceous notes with flavours of ripe tropical fruits and liquorice sticks. |
Dark Chocolate 67% cocoa I discovered this plantation in a splendid environment to the north east of the island of Santo Domingo, at the heart of the Caribbean where the family Rizek has produced, since 1903, exquisite cocoa beans. Lengthily worked, the beans release in this chocolate their aromas of liquorice wood, then red berries and green olives with a lingering flavour of currants and apricots. |
