A little over a year ago I first tried Escazu's goat's milk bar which was lovely. A few months ago I picked up their limited edition Piura Blanco Peru 70% dark chocolate bar.
Escazu Artisan Chocolates is a bean to bar maker located in Raleigh, NC. On their website they mention that the Piura Blanco cocoa beans are organic, co-op sourced, and earned a 2016 Good Food Award.
Color: Medium brown.
Nose: Raspberries, touch of smoke, tobacco.

Texture: Thick bar, medium bodied, good temper snap.
Taste: Acidity, blueberries, tart cherries, blackberries.
Finish: Medium-long, acidity, and then rye bread in the finish.
Given the fact that their bars are priced at $6.50 - $6.99 on their website makes Escasu very affordable craft chocolate bars, and they are delicious too!
