Creamy Dark 55% - Creamy Dark Chocolate With Cacao Nibs
Tasting notes
A creamy chocolate with cacao nibs (the inside of the cacao beans) for a gorgeous crunchy texture bringing a light roasted flavour. Also a great melt and the added pleasure of enjoying an organic chocolate bar that contains milk but with a higher than average amount of cacao (55%) and less sugar compared to most other chocolate bars with milk. This is a must try!
The Great Taste Awards judges said:
There are some excellent floral notes to the chocolate and the nibs are delightfully crunchy. As you bite, there was such a lovely crunch on the nibs and a full rich, creamy flavour. Perfect sweetness and not too rich. A well-balanced chocolate bar with a really nice finish which left you wanting more.
