It was purchased for them by a friend who visited Iceland.<\/p>\r\n<p>This is the first &#8216;mixed&#8217; chocolate bar that I have delighted in for a while. Generally, I am a purist, enjoying bars that contain no more than two or three ingredients. The moment I see lecithin on a package, I usually cast it out of the category of bars I would consider top quality bars and do not purchase them myself. In fact, most chocolate bars I enjoy today that include (usually soy) lecithin, are gifted. (It is not meant to be a snobbish attitude &#8212; it is only because it is generally used in large-scale, manufactured chocolate&#8230;which generally goes against the grain of craft chocolate production.)<\/p>\r\n<p>Wow. Not this bar. The packaging says this bar contains a whopping\u00a0<strong>eleven<\/strong> ingredients, of which include sunflower lecithin, polishing agent, and sealing agent. This usually would elicit immediate judgment on my end.<\/p>\r\n<p>But, once you taste the bar &#8212; you taste the quality. Whatever additional &#8216;processing ingredients&#8217; added, it certainly did not compromise on the taste, texture, and art of this bar.<\/p>\r\n<p>Rather, quite the contrary. One of the ingredients is activated charcoal, which directly contributes to the blackness and beauty of this bar.<\/p>\r\n<p>This one is a winner!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Black Chocolate with toasted and puffed barley and lava salt.&#8221; omNom Chococolate Summary Earthy, chewy barley, and a hint of salt Unique profile that even chocolate purists will find delightful Cost: N\/A (book a trip to Iceland) Review The top of the bar feels smooth against the tongue, quickly melting in your mouth.
