Normally, I'm not overly into minimally processed chocolate bars because often I can't get past the gritty texture, but this Soma Chocolatemaker Milk Old School bar is an exception! It's made of Chuao (Criollo) from Venezuela, milk, and whole, organic cane sugar crystals, and the texture is very pleasant!
Color: Medium brown. This bar totally looks like a cookie!
Nose: Butter, chocolate shortbread cookie, and a touch of cinnamon.
Texture: The texture is like a crunchy cookie with sugar sprinkles, and then it dissolves away, very light texture, ZERO grit. Love it!!!
Taste: A bit of sweetness, buttery, cocoa powder, toasted bread crumbs, and finishes with a bit of mild, raw almond notes.
Finish: Medium finish with some cocoa powder taste lingering, and then a bit of a crunchy, almond like texture.
I normally get 3 - 4 tastings out of a bar, but this one was so pleasurable to eat that I finished it in 2. (I could have finished it in 1, but I was trying to have a touch of self-control).
Finally, a maker that got this style of a bar right! Way to go Soma! If I'd have known how good this was I would have bought 2 of them! I also like that it's not a bar advertised for health benefits. Instead, it's simply a minimally processed bar made well that tastes great.
