Repost @jessica__chokolatejourneys with @get_repost ・・・ Raw or unroasted, which is it and are they the same? When I saw this unroasted bar by @solkiki_chocolatemaker I was curious. After a little research I reached out to Iris and Bob to gain greater insights. Here are some snippets I gleaned from speaking with them. Enjoy! “Chocolate or cacao cannot be raw, it is inedible when it’s raw. The term ‘raw chocolate’ is often used...The cacao cannot be raw by definition, it’s a fermented [and dried] product. The difference with this chocolate [bar]...is that we didn’t roast the cacao beans, therefore we call it unroasted.” “Normally cacao is roasted before being further processed into chocolate. What is different in this 70% bar is that we didn’t roast the cacao beans” before turning it in to chocolate. “The term ‘unroasted’ is used to...be more precise.” Interesting right?! Here’s my taste journey - such a gentle bar! Slow to warm up with an initial dry yet incredibly thick and dense mouth feel, ponderous melt, and smooth texture. Brown butter biscuit, and cacao powder first met me along with notes of green banana and a tart walnut/oak character. As the bar melted, faint floral and subtle sweet notes of honeysuckle appeared, leading to a long, botanical finish. I enjoyed savouring this bar. #chocolatetasting #chocolatephoto #chocolatephotography #handcraftedchocolate #handmadechocolate #beantobarchocolate #singleoriginchocolate #glutenfree #dairyfree #darkchocolate #craftchocolate #fortunatono4 #worldsrarestcacao #unroastedcacao #shippedtoaustraliawide #smallbatchchocolate #70percentcacao #craftchocolatecommunity #fairtradechocolate #ethicalchocolate #madeinuk #madeindorsetuk #ultrapremiumdarkchocolate #craftchocolate #microbatchchocolate #fineflavourchocolate #marañónrivercanyonperuxacacao #marañónxacao #singleestatecacao #directtradecacao #chocolatemaker https://www.instagram.com/p/CK_Ql32D_FX/?igshid=1crf0vtwxjewo
