About Willie's Cacao Almendra 70% Dark Chocolate With Roasted Almonds Bar
Willie Harcourt-Cooze shot to fame in a Channel 4 fly-on-the-wall documentary following his obsession with raw cacao. He owns a cacao plantation in Venezuela and produces bean-to-bar chocolate in his Devonshire factory.
This Almendra dark chocolate bar fuses gently-roasted Marcona almonds - known for their buttery flavour - with smooth and nutty Sur del Lago, 70%, single-origin dark Venezuelan chocolate. This bar is relatively simple in name and ingredients (just four of them), but it certainly packs a flavour punch.
This bar has been recommended to fellow readers 9K times so far.
I've tried and tasted this bar, scoring it 4.6 out of 5. Check out my Willie's Cacao Almendra 70% Dark Chocolate With Roasted Almonds Bar review or read my other Willie's Cacao chocolate reviews.
