Two bars this week that have absolutely knocked my socks off. Duffy’s 83% Ecuador Camino Verde, £5.65, and the 80% Guatemala Sweet River, £6.95. With the 83%, I’ve long had a real penchant for cocoa from Ecuador and Duffy’s describes the beans as ‘soft and gentle’ and they are! Duffy’s says that because the beans have been carefully roasted and there’s been a long conching process, any bitterness has been ‘driven off’ and it just leaves a ‘strong chocolate’ This is one of the most accurate descriptions of a chocolate I’ve ever read. It is strong, but also gentle and just delicious. Honestly, I’m in love.
