Peppermint Chocolate Bar - Maberly, ON

The Maracaibo Clasificado 65% Grand Cru cacao from Venezuela flavoured with mint oil.

The harmonious combination of coffee and plum aromas enhances the distinct cacao flavour. The traditional, gentle processing method unfolds the aromas of orange blossom and cinnamon. These lend a festive character to Maracaibo Clasicado 65%, which is further enhanced by the final sensation of a light, sweet raisin bouquet.

The addition of selected mint oil gives this chocolate a refreshing lingering ending.
