(Peruvian cocoa in) A Taste Test of Chocolate Bars Made From Scratch

A Taste Test of Chocolate Bars Made From Scratch  (Una prueba de sabor de barras de chocolate ...)

By PETE WELLS DEC. 29, 2015

In a blind tasting of 14 bean-to-bar chocolates made in the United States, these were the most impressive. The list was arbitrarily capped at eight. Given how different these bars are, comparisons are difficult and the order is approximate. Sampled on another day, any item might rise or fall a notch or more. Prices were paid in New York stores for two-ounce bars unless otherwise noted.

(Prueba de cata de 14 chocolates de la almendra a al barra, hechos en Estados Unidos de América. Lista cerrada arbitrariamente en ocho, siendo el orden aproximado y difícil las comparaciones; probados otro día, el orden puede cambiar. Se muestran los precios en Nueva York de barras de dos onzas, a menos que se indique algo diferente)

5. Nathan Miller

72 percent Peru ($8). Pure dark chocolate with a dairy creaminess, like dulce de leche swirled with honey — fun, unusual, easy to like. (72% Perú -$8-. Chocolate negro puro con una cremosidad láctea, semejante a dulce de leche con miel- divertido, inusual y fácil de gustar).

7. Fruition (complacencia, goce)

76 percent Marañón from Peru ($12 for 2.12 ounces). Like a frothy, rich cup of espresso with a stripe of lemon peel, this is an ideal choice to end the night. (76% Marañón Perú -$ 12 por 2.12 oz . Como una rica taza espumosa de espresso con una franja de piel de limón; esta es una opción ideal para terminar la noche)
