FrischSchoggi Single Origin Brasil 70% Cacao

The Cabruca-grown Trinitario beans really come through here — it's fruity and smooth rather than the sharp bitterness I usually get from dark chocolate. Broke off a square after dinner and it lasted way longer than I expected because the flavor is so rich.

I was worried 70% would taste bitter, but the Trinitario beans from Bahia give it this fruity note that sneaks up on you. Knowing it's grown the traditional cabruca way makes me feel a bit better about eating half the bar in one sitting.

The texture is wonderfully smooth for a 70% bar, and the Trinitario beans from Bahia give it a rounded bitterness that doesn’t overwhelm. Knowing it’s grown using the Cabruca method makes each square feel a bit more thoughtful.
