About the bar
This 80% dark bar from Zotter is smooth and rich. The chocolate has tasting notes of rum, molasses (thanks to the 10% muscovado sugar), and dried apricots.
About the maker
Josef Zotter is one of the long-established heroes of the craft chocolate movement. He has been producing chocolate since 1992, became famous for his wacky flavour combinations (scarlet runner bean and coriander pastry, anyone?), and was one of the earliest to produce 100% Organic and Fairtrade products. He has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of his growers around the world, engaging in numerous initiatives in Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. He also runs an outstanding chocolate factory visitor experience – The Zotter Experience – that is a must-see for any chocolate-loving visitors to Austria.
The beans
The cocoa used for this bar is Trinitario and Criollo, and the beans are cultivated by a tiny, female-run cooperative located in the mountain region of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia.

Joseph K. –
This is a bit of an acquired taste. It’s different, which is good, but it’s also a little too harsh for me to want to buy it again. I found it slightly astringent. I don’t think the tasting notes are accurate. At first it’s quite subtle and nutty and then I get something a bit like banana peel.
