Scharffen Berger Finisterra 72%

Scharffen Berger Finisterra 10th Anniversary Limited Series Blend, featuring cacao from Venezuela, Trinidad, & Madagascar.

Ingredients: Cacao beans, sugar, cocoa butter, non-GMO soy lecithin, whole vanilla beans.

Scharffen Berger came out with this blended bar to celebrate their tenth anniversary; they named it Finisterra, Latin for “land’s end,” to represent their “search for the world’s best cacao”.

It’s fruity to start – some berry, then develops into citrus.  The finish tastes like rind and wood, but also spicy.  Scharffen Berger’s done well with this blend; it has a good amount of complexity, with a mildly bitter finish that still feels light.  It’s a good fit for fall.
