Mellow stone fruit and hazelnuts in a slow melt or intense sour orange on a bite. Nice creamy melt. An exciting fruity journey.

Nice creamy melt.
An exciting fruity journey.

Absolutely gorgeous: nicely bitter to start with, I got a lovely intense, earthy flavour with a touch of dried fruit.

After a mix up with the Post Office delivery, which was totally out of Cocoa Runners control, I finally received this chocolate. My first impression was smooth and definitely fruity. I did not get the citrus but detected a slight acidity which may well be the balsamic vinegar influence. Overall I liked it.

Before reading the notes I thought this had a lovely fruity taste and was my favourite of the 4 that came in our first box.

It’s a nice dark chocolate, but compared to some of the others you can get on this shop it doesn’t really stand out.
Zoe C. –
Super surprised at the reviews that say this is gritty! That is not my experience at all. Prior to this I’d had Menakao Milk, which is also great but I think this is just slightly better (if you like dark chocolate!).

Light brown in colour, could almost confuse it with milk chocolate from some angles. Very faint bitterness on the nose. Taste starts with a citrus notes, and ends on pinot noir grapes, but has very little in between. Definitely interesting, but could use a bit more depth between the two ends.

This chocolate is anything but smooth.
In terms of taste, this packs a citrus-y punch, but it’s not that acidic, in my opinion. It has a good taste, but it’s gritty. It is very gritty.

Gritty and rough. Couldn’t get beyond that to appreciate the flavour. Not my kind of chocolate at all I’m afraid.
Jonathan R. –
The immediate impression is the mouth full of grit or sand. The texture of the bar I tried was so in my face that it distracted from actually determining the flavours of the underlying chocolate such that I can only say that it tasted OK, but did not seem to go anywhere. Not an experience I am keen to repeat when there are better balances out there.

Out of the ?5 bars I got this one was the best!
Lucinda D. –
Delicious and very citrusy. Also love the packaging.
