Tasting our first bars of chocolate from Colin Gasko's Rogue chocolatier was a revelation. Each package listed the flavor notes Colin found when he tasted his bars and as we tasted them we mentally checked them off in our minds - cedar, cassis, blackberry, toasted cherry... The fruitiness of the chocolate was unlike any we had tasted before - it was fresh and alive in our mouths and as it melted away, it left its lingering essence of deep chocolate flavors.
Colin's chocolates are made in tiny batches where he controls every aspect of production from the roasting of the beans to the winnowing and grinding.
Colin's latest bar is this Rio Caribe - made using a select grade of Trinitario cacao from a single estate on the Paria Peninsula in far eastern Venezuela. The family that runs the estate maintains very high quality standards and Colin has been working closely with them as the first U.S. importer of their beans. The bar is made with 70% cacao content and Colin adds a touch of cocoa butter for a silkier mouthfeel. As with most of Colin's chocolates, we found his tasting notes to be spot on - look for notes of blood orange, nuts and coffee with a perfect snap and smooth melting texture on the palate.
