ORIGINAL BEANS – 'Esmeralda's milk chocolate 42% with sea salt'

Beschreibung
The chocolate:
The fact that Original Beans are now part of the standard equipment of many star chefs probably speaks for itself. Crafted in Switzerland from the finest Ecuadorian Arriba beans, this strain is hard to put down with notes of caramel and hazelnut. The silky sweetness is refined by a touch of sea salt. The flavor of Arriba cocoa wafts over to us from Ecuador's Pacific cloud forest, where silky tree frogs enjoy the tropical breeze.
The Arriba beans grow in the middle of the Mache Chindul Reserve, Ecuador's last cloud forest. This is also home to the rare silky tree frogs. Once a symbol of Ecuador, the single-variety Arriba has been increasingly pushed aside and is now rarely found. Your purchase of a silky Esmeraldas 42% encourages local farmers to protect their rare cocoa trees and silky frogs.

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.
