Orange 65% - Dark Chocolate Bar With Orange Extract
Tasting notes
The natural oil from cold pressing the ripe fruit peels of fresh oranges, gives this chocolate an incredible zesty yet mellow taste with beautifully well-balanced flavours.
The Great Taste Awards judges said:
A luxurious looking, richly dark, even coloured bar with gentle shine and a satisfying snap. Rich bittersweet cocoa, with fresh almost herbal notes, contrasts with the gentle sweet orange with its oils from the skin adding further flavour and character. Simple but carefully developed flavours that are true to their origin. Just cacao and orange. Well done. Simply delicious!
