Maker
FrescoFresco is a small craft chocolate maker in Lynden, Washington. The founder of Fresco, Rob Anderson, releases several combinations of roasting and conch profiles to create different variation bars from the same beans. Anderson, originally a computer scientist, took a trip to Washington and visited a chocolate shop and took a tour which initially sparked his chocolate interest. Since then, Anderson created his own machines to make small batches of test chocolate. While only using three ingredients for his bars; cacao beans, cane sugar and cacao butter, Fresco’s flavor range is uniquely diverse. He chose the name Fresco meaning fresh in Italian, which could translate into fresh taste, fresh ideas, or a fresh approach to chocolate making.

We bought 15 bars of 100% chocolate, for a tasting. We found the o'payo to be smooth in texture. The main flavor notes we tasted were smoky, leather, tobacco, sour, one person said it was a manly flavor(masculine).
Fresco makes great chocolate and this bar is no exception. Balanced as described, and great with fruit or coffee.
