| Maker Comments | Quite the character; behaves like an 80%. A subtle earthy aroma cleverly translates into the opening flavour notes, before transforming into bold notes of burnt sugar and treacle. This rough diamond emanates hints of freshly roasted coffee.
Short story: We proudly present our second 'single côt&e' chocolate, created from cocoa grown and harvested only on a single section of Rabot Estate, our 250-year-old cocoa plantation in Saint Lucia. The 15-acre Pépinière côte is the largest of our 16 côtes, bordered by riverbeds on the slope of a volcanic basin beneath the spectacular Piton Mountains and blessed with fabulously rich and fertile soil. |
| Comments | DLA: This bar is interesting. I rated it lower, but the flavor kept developing on me. It was good, then it was great, then it got even better! Give it time on your palate. |
