Sarotti No. 1 Brazil Dark Chocolate Mint

I found a couple more of Sarotti's No. 1 line of chocolate bars, this one features cacao beans from Brazil, with mint oil as flavouring, and has a cacao content of 60%. The ingredient listing is good, cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, soya lecithin and mint oil.

How does it taste? The few I've eaten from Sarotti have been hit and miss, this one was fairly good. The mint was not too strong, though the dark chocolate could be more dark. I've never eaten chocolate made from cacao beans from Brazil, but they seem pretty good. The chocolate itself is smooth and flavourful. I would eat this bar again.

Sugar Apple

My first experience with this fruit the other week was with one that was over-ripe, sad to say; you can see the rind is very dark, where it would be greener when less ripe. This one came from Brazil, the ones I've seen that come from Thailand, called noi-na, are much smaller with a green and grey rind. Each segment of the fruit has an individual largish seed, you suck the flesh from it and spit out the seed. The flavour is kind of different, this one was over-ripe, so perhaps too "sugary", I can see why it has been described as tasting like custard (and is known as a Custard Apple in some places). I'm interested in trying it again, I would say, perhaps in Thailand, just ripened.
