The taste
“Showing citrus fruits but also sweet almonds – almost like almond powder.The middle of the taste is caramelized and ends in strong cocoa tones.” Morin says so himself on the packaging.

Furthermore, they also write: “The aforementioned aromas come from our own experience of the chocolate and do not have to dominate your own taste experience” – in other words: discover for yourself what this bar brings to you.

In ‘Chocolate – the reference standard’ Georg Bernardini gives this chocolate a very high score of 91.60 out of 100 and says “Mildly bitter with very fruity notes of redcurrant and pleasant fruity acidity, with light floral notes and a subtly roasted aroma”

About the maker: Morin
In Donzère – Southern France, the Provence (about fifty kilometers above Avignon) the company has been making chocolate since 1884 and since 1958 it has really been a grain to a bar. Father André started here and gave the name to the company (officially ‘A Morin’), nowadays son Franck is in charge.

A beautiful rich tradition, a real family business and a rich assortment of single origine chocolates.

And let’s also come to the opinion of Georg Bernardini from ‘Chocolate – the reference standard’: “For me Franck Morin has reached the highest level and has arrived in the Champions League with his chocolates”
