Vigdis Rosenkilde Bar

Taste Profile: Blackberries & honey.

70% Piura with cocoa nibs - Dark chocolate.

Ingredients: Cocoa from Piura, sugar, cocoa butter and cocoa nibs.

Piura Blanco cocoa has a high proportion of white cocoa beans and is one of the world's mildest cocoa varieties. This wonderful cocoa has flavors of citrus and dried fruit, as well as caramel and nuts. Because Piura Blanco is so mild, it is well suited as a nibs. Nibs are pieces of cocoa beans that give a delicious crunchy touch to this chocolate bar. The cocoa was bought by the farmer Elias Cruz in Piura, northern Peru. The chocolate has taste notes of, among other things, citrus, nuts and raisins. The taste notes are not ingredients, but natural flavors from the cocoa. Just like wine.
