Scharffen Berger Finisterra
October 23, 2008 A tribute to cacao farmers, the Scharffen Berger Finisterra (Limited Series #10) is a 72% bittersweet bar. Made in honor of the company's 10th year anniversary, the beans are sourced from Venezuela, Trinidad, and Madagascar. The name is Latin for "land's end," symbolic of their search for the world's best cacao. The bar is quite commendable - it contains strong fruity notes of citrus and berry, mild acidity, and a nice smooth finish.
As a gift idea, the Folio Box with the 5 gram tasting squares is a neat one (you can insert your calling card on the front - how clever), or get the Hand Dipped Glace Apricots. Using their signature 70% bittersweet chocolate, these imported Australian apricots are very moist and flavorful. Recipients of these treats will be very happy.
