Academy of Chocolate Awards 2020: Bronze Award
Karuna's philisophy is to support local communities, animal welfare, and the well-bring of the planet. It is their philosophy that guided the development of their plant-based "white" chocolate bars. The base for these organic vegan fruit bars is cocoa butter, de-oiled almond flour, raw sugar and freeze-dried fruits. The almond flour creates a creamy, rich, "white" chocolate base for the fruit flavors.
This bar is a beautiful deep purple color. The aroma is of almonds with whispers of berries.
Ella's Tasting Notes: The melt if immediate, releasing a rish, lightly toasted almond flavor along with e creamy mouth-feel. As the bar melts, a tangy flavor of black grapes emerges. As the acitity increases the flavor develops from berries and grapes into black currants. the bright currant takes center stage while the black grape falls to the backdrop. The currant flavor builds throughout the melt. The acidity lingers long after the chocolate is gone. Towards the end the overall flavors shift between black currant ice cream, black currant jam and a currant tart with almond crust.
