This is a wild white chocolate bar! I purchased #517 out of 1,098 bars available for Askinosie Chocolate's dirty White chocolate Vintage Cocoa Gravel Bar.
Askinosie Chocolate is a craft chocolate, bean to bar maker located in Springfield, Mo. Their Dirty White bar is another example that white chocolate is way more then it used to be.
The pouch this bar comes in is made by Trappist Monks (the order was founded in 1098, so 1,098 bars), the cocoa butter is from the Philippines, and is from the first pressing (which gives it the "dirty" white), the cocoa nibs are aged for two years, and covered in chocolate (the nibs, and chocolate are from Tanzania). Talk about complex!

Pic of Dirty White Chocolate Bar
Nose: Milk chocolate, delicate, mild nose.
Texture: Smooth meets the crunch of the chocolate covered cocoa nibs.
Vintage Cocoa Gravel
Taste: Minimal sweetness, rice, green tea, floral, brie cheese, cream, cereal. When I took a bite of just the cocoa nib "gravel" the nibs had a touch of saltiness.
Finish: Short/Medium.
Given that this was a limited edition bar I hope you got one, or know someone who did, and likes to share! Let me know what you think if you have tried one.
