Other Worldly Chocolate

I like bar hopping. Not the type you are used too, no spilled drinks or drunk come-ons here, just a bunch of good old chocolate bars. Of course, each has its own individual characteristics that make it personable too, but not quite the same. From my tastings from one bar to another, I have many interesting flavors and qualities. Recently, I found a single origin bar that is absolutely stunning in its flavor and complexity.

I received it as a gift and am I happy I did. This bar is called "The Wild Thing". This delicacy is from Lillie Belle Farms in Oregon. 

First of all, this is a handmade chocolate. Second, they have their own chocolatier. Third, this is single origin from the jungles of Bolivia. Fourth, it's awesome.

The flavors are harmoniously subtle and encompassing at the same time. Flavors of earthy wood and faint leather come into play in the base notes of the chocolate while a fantastic sweetness of apple and pear come right to the front to put you in awe that this is simple chocolate you are eating. Incredible. I was not sure what to expect, but I was happily surprised to find all these flavors and more in the chocolate. 

Here is a blurb from Lillie Belle on the bar: 

"This is the best chocolate bar ever! Hand selected cocoa pods from the jungles of Bolivia are picked during the peak of ripeness. This is NOT plantation grown hybrid cacao. It is a true wild strain that is so rare we are currently the only company in the US offering this special chocolate in bar form. One taste of it's special character and you will never want another chocolate again......except for our new "The Other One"

So, forget the dealings of the day and go order yourself one of these bars. You won't regret it.
