MICHEL CLUIZEL: Concepcion

MICHEL CLUIZEL (France) - Plantation "Concepcion"
Venezuela, 1er Cru de Plantation 66%

"I selected this plantation in the valley of Barlovento, to the east of Caracas, for the exceptional quality of its Caranero cocoa beans. In this chocolate, the beans, fermented, dried and polished according to the traditional method used since 1902, let you gradually discover hints of vanilla, honey spice cake and caramel in a remarkable lingering aroma with hints of mixed dried and black fruits."

*Lemon tea
*Juicy
*Earthy start (like milk chocolate) gets brighter and juicier as it goes (pow! pow! -- not subtle)
