Amaro – Republica Dominica

Description

This dark chocolate bar was crafted in Italy and is full of the typical flavours of cocoa beans from the Dominican Republic.

The thin mould helps the slim bar melt smoothly and release its full flavour quickly on the tongue. The bar is a gently buttery with a touch of sweet chocolate. The hint of ‘chocolate pudding’ that is characteristic of much Dominican cacao comes through. Underneath this classic flavour we noted some citrus and a light astringency on the finish.

Marco Colzani is the maker behind Amaro. Marco has a strong food pedigree: his family has a pasticceria and for several years he worked as a winemaker. Slowly he found himself being drawn to the new wave of chocolate production.
