Today was a bittersweet day, in that it was our final day of cheese tasting. But before that, we were able to have another chocolate tasting. This was actually my favorite groupings of chocolates we had tasted all month, and they were known as the "best of the varietals." All of these chocolates are from the Amedei chocolate company.
The Amedei 9 was extremely smooth. It was sweet, and the taste lingered. There was almost a nutty taste to me.
The Chuao had a fruitier taste. I did not like it as much as the other ones, but it was still a good chocolate.
Amedei Porcelana was by far the my favorite though. It actually was probably my favorite chocolate I tasted all year. It had a wonderfully smooth and creamy texture, just the right amount of cocoa flavor, without any bitterness or astringency. Just a great chocolate.
Today was also the last cheese tasting day. We tried some more soft, "stinky" cheeses this time. These weren't my favorite, but I could appreciate it.
- Taleggio: smelly, tangy, creamy, didn't particularly like it
- Morbier Raw Milk: similarly smelly, had an almost musty flavor
- Chimay: Really did not like this one, even though I do like Chimay beer. Extremely bitter.
