モカ。カフェの定番。カカオとコーヒーには共通点がたくさんあります。栽培地域から加工工程まで、遠い遺伝的親戚であるこれらは明らかな組み合わせです。このチョコレートは少し逆転の発想で、コーヒーを引き立てつつチョコレートが主役です。Onyxの素晴らしいMonarch Espressoが加わることで、この組み合わせは期待どおりに天上の味わいです。
I grabbed this to pair with my afternoon espresso and ended up eating the whole bar in one sitting. The mocha note comes through clearly without one flavor overpowering the other.
The coffee and cacao balance is spot on, not overly sweet, and it melts with that slow, even texture I look for in a dark bar. I've already eaten half the bar in one sitting while sipping my morning espresso, and the pairing honestly makes both taste better.
I was a little unsure about the mocha combo, but the coffee and cacao really do balance each other out nicely. The bar is a bit more brittle than I'd like, so you have to break it carefully, though the flavor is spot on for a classic espresso pairing.
