60 gram bar - São Paulo, Brazil
Mission Chocolate’s 70% Brazil bar was the first chocolate Arcelia Gallardo made using cacao from the Brazilian Amazon, and its flavor profile is strikingly different from the better-known cacao of Bahia.
The chocolate melts into a creamy texture with a lightly tannic edge. We first notice roasted nuts and a touch of astringency, followed by mild licorice and bright flashes of burnt candied orange. As it continues to melt, those sharper notes give way to honey, caramel cream, and a deep chocolate richness that lingers like dark chocolate pudding.
Arcelia’s own tasting notes add even more dimension: brown sugar, light molasses, and vivid tropical-green notes that gradually fade into a rich, brandy-like black cherry finish.
It’s a beautifully layered 70% bar—approachable enough for everyday dark chocolate eating, but complex enough to reward slow tasting.
