Water, Chocolate, and Why
Fresco Chocolate Öko Caribe Dominican Republic Recipe 212 A favorite morning ritual of mine. Warm water and fine craft chocolate. I can taste the notes more on a blank palate. And who doesn’t love to wake up to chocolate? This morning I’m exploring “why” with a bar crafted by one of my favorite master chocolate makers Fresco Chocolate. The Öko Caribe Dominican Republic recipe 212, light roast, subtle conche. Why do I like this chocolate bar? It is bright and a bit of tart like bing cherries yet deep and dark and earthy tobacco like all at the same time. It melts perfectly to a smooth liquid on my tongue. I want another piece and at the same time I want to savor the deep cacao notes on the finish of the piece that I just polished off. I’m savoring my very last piece so very slowly right now, the bar is finished.
