Muchomas… a co-packing venture with Mesocacao.

Aroma   7.8 / 10
100%
Chinese take-out box filled with sesame noodles

cured sausage

Milk Chocolate with Almonds
a very inviting warm grill of nuts & pop corn kernels along with hot cocoa
stupendous
Mouthfeel   12.1 / 15
Texture: multi-variagated
Melt: cancel all appointments
Flavor   39.3 / 50
100%
dusty cocoa tannins -> cocoa rice puff -> backwoods

80% with Sea Salt
chocolate salt -> brines up nothing but more salt… a brown salt mine -> salted butter

Milk Chocolate with Almonds
powdered milk dusting quickly transitions to roasted almonds -> salted corn off the cob -> milk powder intrudes back in
Quality   14.8 / 20
100%
Straight, simple, unadorned & tolerable for unsweetened. Good core cocoa principles. On the snack side of baker's chocolate.
INGREDIENTS: cocoa mass, cocoa butter

80% with Sea Salt
A dramatic modification of Mesocacao's plain 80%. Indelicate. Way too heavy handed, an epileptic fit really, on the salt shaker.
INGREDIENTS: cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, sea salt

Milk Chocolate with Almonds
Spikes Mesocacao's 44% Milk Chocolate with whole nuts -- 5 of them to be exact. Intrusive dairy obscures the Milk Chocolateness of this base, relying on the almonds to overcome the powder burns from it which they accomplish with a little help from cooking them in vegetable oil & a pinch of salt. The bar that'll have fans screaming 'mas, muchomas'.
INGREDIENTS: sugar, cocoa butter, whole milk powder, cocoa mass, almonds, vegetable oil, sea salt
