First Blush: New Lindt 70%, Good Cacao, Zokoko, and Amano
Posted in: Tasting Notes
Thank you for your honesty and candor.
The Morobe is definitely niche, but it has found its place. The red grapefruit notes are too citrusy for some, but it has become a new favorite for many of our customers.
I haven't asked Art what he was thinking when he made this, but I'm guessing he was thinking along the same lines as when he began Amano in the first place. He wants to create the finest chocolate in the world, from the finest ingredients, and give his customers the ultimate chocolate tasting experience. Sometimes this means "boldly going" where other chocolate makers dare not.
Several chefs have eagerly bought the new Morobe, to incorporate it into desserts, because it tastes quite different from anything else available in the chocolate world. We'll keep making the Morobe bar as long as our customer keep demanding it.
Thanks again for your feedback.
