Complex and subtle, all the aromas of the cocoa are perceived in this dark chocolate, it is pure cocoa with a touch of sugar. That's all!

Cacao Region
Duarte, Dominican RepublicDuarte is a northern province of the Dominican Republic, named after Juan Pablo Duarte, the founder of the country. The province is located in the eastern portion of the Cibao Valley, and finds its economic base in both commercial industry & processing, and agriculture. Duarte grows over two-thirds of the Dominican Republic’s exported cacao, as well as ~60% of the rice consumed within the country; other crops include coffee, tobacco, and bananas.
I like to make hot chocolate without any extra sugar, and this was perfect for that! very easy to cut up and melted nicely.
This is my second time trying this brand, and I'm still left feeling unimpressed and underwhelmed. The taste isn't bad per se, but there is really no flavor. It doesn't taste like dark chocolate, there's no intensity or complexity to it, and it's not really satisfying or pleasant to eat. The packaging is also a bit lacking and the bar arrived broken.
I’m a big Dominican Republic fan. This just feel a little short. Overall was a good bar.
