Recently awarded by Academy of Chocolate – 2013 Golden Bean.
Chocolate maker notes:
“The new chocolate Amedei has a scent of wild berries and wild mushrooms, alternated with a hint of dried plum and toasted almonds.”
Cacao variety controversy: probably none of the used cacao beans are really of “criollo” variety.
Ingredients: cocoa mass, cane sugar, cocoa butter, vanilla.

“No flavor is overwhelming, and the bar is just sweet enough to prevent the citrus notes from being overly sour. Balanced and smooth. Divine. “

“The ancient cocoa bean, cultivated on the Venezuelan Chuao peninsula, is the gold of kings. They alone were allowed to open that treasure chest of aroma and flavor. Now Amedei brings that perfection in form, flavor, and purity to the entire world for the very first time.”
“Aromas: Fresh aroma of cacao and of processed chocolate, with red fruit (cherry, raspberry, redcurrant) and exotic fruit sensations.
Taste: Clean snap, delicate flavour, fresh, acid, takes possession of the mouth with decisive notes of fully matured redcurrant and cherry, expanding in all directions. It evolves into a flavour of fresh fruits and closes with a sensation of honey and preserves. Very long-lasting persistence and balanced acidity. An enthralling chocolate.” (Amedei) Read More →
