This bar is made from a mix of Criollo and Amelonado cacao beans sourced from Tulloch Estates in the St. Thomas Ye Vale valley, Jamaica.  The bar uses locally sourced thyme and orange peel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sight:<\/strong> classic and clean molding; dark brown; glossy surface; the bar and packaging are colorful&#8211;right down to their signature cocoa butter splatter<br>\n<strong>Smell:<\/strong> moderate intensity; earthy, thyme<br>\n<strong>Sound:<\/strong> great snap with break<br>\n<strong>Mouth feel:<\/strong>  smooth, thin melt with chunks of orange peel<br>\n<strong>Taste:<\/strong> strong thyme that gives way somewhat to a mellow orange flavor, then the thyme hits you again<br>\n<strong>Astringency:<\/strong> none<\/p>\n<p><strong>Summary:  This is a lot of thyme.  So much thyme that I feel like the cacao&#8217;s flavor notes get lost, and instead the whole bar tastes earthy and vegetal.  The orange peel isn&#8217;t sweet&#8211;it&#8217;s subtle compared to the thyme and doesn&#8217;t help brighten the bar.  If you&#8217;ve read some of my other reviews, you know I don&#8217;t like earthy flavors in general. I know the maker is going for savory and sweet together, but&#8230;.the chocolate gets lost.  I&#8217;m not sure I need to buy this bar again.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my first &#8220;second bar&#8221; review&#8211;same maker as a prior post but I&#8217;m reviewing a different bar.
