I blogged about Hummingbird Chocolate last week.
hispaniola – tasting notes:
First taste: definitely fruity. On the edge of dry. Smooth. Creamy. Golden raisin. Slight after taste, but pleasant. Michael called it a “bright fruitiness.”
Second taste: pleasant chocolate scent. Fruit is again very upfront. Cherry through and through. Aftertaste is stronger and lingered longer the second time. Mouth coating but not unpleasant.
Definitely a quality bar. Grade A.
Then I tried the Fleur de Sel a few days later. This award winning bar is made with the hispaniola chocolate and sprinkled with hand-harvested Fleur de Sel from the Vancouver Island Salt Co. As much as I liked the hispaniola on its own, it was INSANELY good with the added salt. And I usually loathe anything added to my chocolate.
I only have two pieces of the Fleur de Sel left. I had to force myself to not eat it all in one go … it was that good. Grade A++
I’m exceedingly pleased with this new discovery. 😀

Glad I saw the review in the Ottawa Citizen … 🙂
Yes, thank you for sharing!!
I am so not good at keeping any of my chocolate for later. Is it all at once or not at all 🙂
I’m usually good at savouring new chocolate but only because I have so much of it in the house.
I visited their online store and read all of the descriptions! I am hoping to be able to buy some; I’m in the US.
I’m not sure about their shipping, Sharon. I usually run into the opposite trouble – no shipping to Canada! 😛 The Fleur de Sel is especially worth checking out. So tasty … I only have one piece remaining now.
