| Maker Comments | Made with organic beans from Gonzalo Martinetti's impeccably run plantation of nacional arriba cocoa trees in the Los Rios province of Ecuador. Pink peppercorns from nearby Peru and piri-piri chilli from Madagascar add the piquant notes. With 72% cocoa, the Hacienda Iara chocolate gives a sustained delivery of deep chocolaty notes, amongst which the piquant spices intermingle. |
| Comments | It was odd eating whole pink peppercorns. I didn't particularly care for this combination. |
