Beschreibung
The chocolate:
The Queen of Esmeraldas, Ecuador - 100 percent pure. This delicate, full-bodied chocolate pampers with a slow melting and seduces with aromas of tobacco, raisins and a hint of licorice. The long aftertaste crowns this truly magnificent dark beauty. A balanced 100% composition.
Similar to the collaboration with the "Asociación Wiñak", there is also a partnership with the "Unión de Asociaciones Artesanales Eloy Alfaro de Esmeraldas" in the central north of Ecuador. Located in the upper left corner of the country, this province is known for its population of African descent, which is said to be due to the sinking of a slave ship off the coast.
The cocoa from this region is remarkably balanced and has a fat content of 7%. Thanks to its balanced flavor profile, there are many high-quality chocolates with a higher cocoa content. This chocolate is not bitter but reveals a perfect taste.
Eloy Alfaro was awarded the "Aromas del Ecuador" prize in 2013 for her cocoa mass, the precursor to chocolate, also known as cocoa liquor.

Tasting-Anleitung
TASTING-ANLEITUNG
You want to taste your chocolate like real chocolate experts? Here we go! Here are our tasting tips:
Tasting preparation:
Ideally, you should make sure that your chocolate and any pairing drinks are brought to room temperature before the tasting. Are you trying the chocolate with several people? So that the others are not initially influenced by the pretty packaging, it is best to unpack the chocolates beforehand and break them into small pieces.
Smaller pieces of around 5g per person are ideal, we recommend 2 small pieces per person. So you can “taste” it again.
If you want to take a more professional approach, you can also have a pen and paper ready to jot down impressions.
You try several chocolates one after the other? Then only glasses and water are missing for the perfect tasting happiness ;-). You use the water to neutralize between the taste buds. It should not be too cold, otherwise the mouth will cool down and the next chocolate may melt more slowly. If you like, you can add a splash of apple cider vinegar to the water. According to bean-to-bar pioneer Zotter, this cleans the taste buds on the tongue particularly well. By the way: even if you only try one fine chocolate, you can still do a mini tasting. Take your favorite chocolates from the supermarket and see where the differences lie. This is exciting both in terms of taste but also in terms of the ingredients and information that the manufacturers provide you with.
You want to drink more than just water? Then read here how to find a perfect (wine) pairing.
