Grezzo Raw Chocolate, Rome Italy 🇮🇹

I dragged my husband all over the streets of Rome to find this chocolate shop.

Grezzo Raw Chocolate. 

The shop has interesting architecture that makes me think the building is centuries old. It probably is, we are in Rome after all.   In contrast to the architecture, the marketing points to gluten free, lactose free, and vegan, more present day concerns. 

I tried a hot chocolate with hand scooped whipped cream, I’m kind of wondering what the whipped cream actually was made of if everything is vegan? I did enjoy it, whatever it was made of. 

Raw chocolate usually has some astringency and sometimes strong flavors from the ferment.  Grezzo chocolate fits right into the typical raw profile.  

I bought the Grezzo Intenso 80% raw chocolate with coconut sugar.

A bit astringent with acidity on the finish.  The texture resembles stone ground chocolate, which I find interesting.  The malty notes of the coconut sugar played well with the raw chocolate.
