76% Olivia Canada Dark Crossover Dominican Republic

by 76% Olivia · Mission Beach, Australia · rated 4.7/5

This chocolate unfurls like a symphony of contrasts: the first bite delivers a bold smokiness akin to burnt embers, softened by a zingy lime and orange brightness that dances on the palate. As it melts, whispers of toasted sesame and the velvety warmth of cognac and whiskey emerge, leaving a lingering finish that is both bittersweet and luxuriously refined. The texture is indulgently smooth, with a long, elegant persistence that leaves you chasing the memory of its complexity.
