The 70% Medium Roast has a subtle earthy note up front with lingering red fruit and caramel notes as the chocolate melts. The medium cocoa roast creates a unique chocolate flavor profile that is different from this bar's light and dark roasted cousins. They use a long conche cycle on this chocolate recipe to create a mellow, subtle chocolate experience. They invite you to experience Polochic Valley for yourself, they think you will be impressed.

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.

This bar is smooth and blunt, but chocolaty once it melts, and it's not at all bitter or dry. The mold is beautiful, but I keep coming back to this origin and roast because it's one of the most mild dark chocolates I've ever had. When I have a piece with my morning coffee, I never feel guilty that I'm basically having chocolate for breakfast! Maybe one day I'll branch out and try it with a red wine or a whisky or one of those other fancy pairings, but for now, it's become an absolute necessity alongside my americano.
