Blind tasting #4



Chocolate #4

 The chocolate was very silky and smooth.

The tasters thought that this chocolate had a soft break and created a soft "pop" when broken.

The smell was described as sweet with a milky hint.

Mouthfeel:
The chocolate had a smooth and creamy mouthfeel.

Flavor:
The flavor was noted to be mainly sweet with milky, nutty and slightly acidic undertones.

Aftertaste:
The aftertaste was brief and was both sweet and dry.

Overall comments: 
This chocolate seemed more like milk chocolate due to its sweetness and milky taste. The taste though was very pleasurable and I enjoyed eating it. It was also very smooth.

This chocolate is Patricia's Chocolate Fortunato No. 4 47% Dark Milk Chocolate.


Overall thoughts:
Personally this was my favorite chocolate but I tend to enjoy the sweeter chocolates. After doing a little research on this chocolate it was noted that this comes from a rare cocoa bean. It also has a special cocnching technique to retain as much flavor as possible. It is known to contain nutty, floral, and fruity undertones. I think this chocolate cantains great flavor and is highly recommended especially for those who want a lit of flavor but maybe not as much of an intense dark chocolate flavor. 




This chocolate is sold for around $3.80 for a 0.56 oz bar so about  $6.79/ oz.
