The Grenada Chocolate Company 71% Organic Dark Chocolate Bar Review by Victoria Cooksey

The Grenada Chocolate Company was started in 1999, and is well known for being a tree to bar chocolate maker.  Tree to bar means the chocolate is made where it is grown, so the makers have wonderful quality control over the whole process from picking the pods, fermentation, drying, roasting, storage, etc of the beans.

I personally love that they press their own cocoa butter, and the lovely snap of their chocolate bars. Often cocoa butter is "deodorized", but by pressing their own cocoa butter the cocoa flavors remain, and then becomes part of the flavor of the finished product.  

This 71% dark chocolate bar is made with Trinitario cocoa beans. 

Color:  Dark brown.
Nose:  Cocoa powder, more the smell of unsweetened chocolate.


Texture:  Extra snap to this bar when you break, or bite into it. 
Taste:  Red fruit, some acidity, subtle gooseberry notes. The flavor builds for awhile.
Finish:  Medium, a few bitter notes at the end.
