ROYCE’ Aromatic Cacao

Assortment packs to enjoy rare cacao

ROYCE’ chocolates are no longer a staple of Hokkaido souvenirs, but there are so many varieties in the store that it is always difficult to decide.

The “ROYCE’ Aromatic Cacao” I bought this time has the characteristics of the rare cacao bean “Criollo” and is said to have an exceptionally good flavor. It comes in an assortment of three types: bitter, sweet, and milk.

［Bitter] … a bitter flavor with the aroma of rare cacao “Sur del Lago”.

［Sweet] … A well-balanced flavor with the aroma of cacao, roasted nuts and sweetness of chocolate.

［Milk] A milky and nutty aroma that enhances the mellow sweetness of the chocolate.

The color of each chocolate is like this. The hue seems to vary depending on the amount of cacao in the mixture, a beautiful gradation.

Personally, I like [sweet] the best, but it is good to be able to eat differently depending on one’s mood. Also, I think it is a chocolate that is appreciated even if you casually give it to someone when you are in the mood to have a piece.
