If you've finally gotten your head around the differences between "dark", "semi-sweet", and "bittersweet", our bar of the week might throw you for a new loop. From France's venerable bean-to-bar chocolate maker Chocolat Bonnat comes Java, made from single-origin Indonesian cacao. Java is a 65% milk chocolate, a so-called "dark milk" that contains milk but also has a higher percentage of cocoa solids than is typical for a milk chocolate.
A dark milk chocolate tends to be creamier than most darks and less sweet than most milks. Bonnat's Java lives up to this reputation, with a flavor that is at once sophisticated and comforting, intense and gentle. Notes and smoke and peat provide a bassline for lighter tones of citrus and cream.
Come by on Saturday, June 4th, for a sample of Bonnat's Java and an introduction to the world of dark milks.
