Normally I haven't been thrilled when I try a bar made from un-roasted beans, but Raaka is the exception. I really dig their bar made with coconut milk. If you avoid milk, or are allergic to it, this may be the bar for you.
Color: Dark brown.
Nose: Coconut.
Texture: Very smooth, melts quickly.
Taste: Baked coconut chip flavor, semi-sweet chocolate, and the 2nd time I tried it I go a lot of buttery notes too.
Finish: Medium with the buttery notes lasting to the end.
Fermenting, and roasting are such huge components to developing the chocolate flavor in the bean, which is usually why I don't fancy ones made from un-roasted beans, but Raaka is definitely a winner, and I would definitely try more of their bars in the future. I really wish I could get my hands on one of their Raspberry Lemonade Madagascar 65% bars. Sounds amazing!
How do you feel about bars made form un-roasted cocoa beans? Do yo have a favorite?
