Flavor 45.6 / 50
low-sodium -> essential Milk Chocolate exactly as it should taste... like Milk Chocolate... very steady length... very even caramel... subliminal shift w/ off cheese whiff cleared by a brackish sweep announcing salt accentuating purer chocolate; milk recedes though never leaves -> butterscotch bang -> savory climb to roasted dates & Arriba’s signature floral eurythmics
Quality 18.1 / 20
Straight ‘n narrow & deep; salt a real driver without ever turning into scouring brine – just hovers over super smooth integration. Plus, an exposé on carmelization, which is a sugar browning reaction having nothing to do with vanilla.
