The tasting notes reflect my personal opinion.
Name
Goat milk chocolate
Ingredients are cane sugar, full cream goat milk powder, cocoa butter, cocoa beans, soya lecithin.
Cocoa content: minimum 40%
cocoa,
no vanilla
Manufacturer
Artisan du Chocolat, 89 Lower Sloane Street, London, SW1 8DA, United Kingdom
Packaging
The 45g chocolate is wrapped and sealed in transparant wrap and a printed card board envelope.
Look
The chocolate is middle brown with a light orange and grey shade as opposed to red hint.
Sound
The chocolate breaks with a clear snap sound.
Smell
The bar smells of milk and a hint cocoa. There is no strong goat-like smell as in goat's cheese but a sweet-ish, grass-like hint.
Mouthfeel
The chocolate feels initially smoother than expected and melts slowly into a thick liquid. It remains slightly chewy without dissolving into a liquid.
Taste
The first flavour is surprising note of goat's cheese. This quickly pairs up with sweetness, milky flavours and light hint of cocoa.
Aftertaste
The aftertaste is mainly milk with a mild sweetness and some notes of goat's cheese.
Summary
The chocolate's smell does not prepare for the surprising goat's cheese flavour. The smooth milk chocolate balances a mild sweetness and cocoa with the goat milk flavour.
Verdict
This is a well-made, smooth milk chocolate. It frames the goat's milk surprisingly well with cocoa and sugar. But the chocolate melts very slowly and remains a thick-ish liquid. 4 Stars.
