About the bar
This 70% dark bar from Stranger is wonderfully creamy, with sweet notes of ripe fruit and a lovely earthiness.
About the maker
Born from a true passion to transform the Ukrainian chocolate industry, Stranger Chocolate was founded in late 2016 by designers Ruslan and Tetyana. Their mission: for people to enjoy the unique flavours of cocoa beans from around the world, without the use of slave or child labour through the cultivating process. Although Stranger has already racked up two Silver Awards and two Bronze Awards in the International Chocolate Awards 2021-22, what really makes them stand out is their sheer strength and endurance – Ruslan and Tetyana are still making chocolate at their factory in Poltava, Ukraine, with the help of their children, Anya and Matvii, despite the war knocking on their front doorstep.
The beans
The beans in this bar are Heirloom Designated Arriba Nacional beans from Manabi Montaña, in the province of Manabi, Ecuador.

I received this in the subscription last month, can't believe there are no reviews for it on here! So adding mine to make up for that. It was so good! Rich, intense, creamy and with a delicious toffee-like sweetness, just an incredible bar, really blew me away. Could have literally eaten the entire thing in one sitting, was so hard to pace myself and spread it out. Rarely feel this strongly about a bar, but this one was really special.
