We started off with our last official chocolate tasting today. All of these chocolates Vahrona, and we are determining what differences vintages have on chocolates.
- Gran Couva (Trinidad 2010): Complex flavor with a fruity flavor that developed on the palate.
- Gran Couva (Trinidad 2011): Milder flavor with a hint of bitter
- Palmira Criollo (Venezuela 2009): Very fruity, elements of honey
- Palmira Criollo (Venezuela 2010): Still fruity, but more bitter than the older vintage
After this tasting, it does not seem as if vintage has too much of a significant effect on flavor.
We also did a vanilla tasting.
- Tahitian: Mild flavor, but very smooth and good
- Mexican: Most pronounced flavor that was almost a little spicy
- Madagascar (homemade): Milder than the storebought
- Madagascar (Spice House): Intense vanilla flavor
I think out of these my favorite was the Tahitian.
