More Chocolate

Today a friend brought over some fantastic floral-flavored chocolate from Cacao Sampaka, which was featured in Saveur's February issue. I tried a rosemary one and another one I couldn't identify. It had a smokey, almost musty taste, and I think it may have been jasmine tea, just because it seemed like a tea flavor and that was the only tea in the box.

The rosemary one was an utter surprise: The chocolate and rosemary flavors were so distinct, separate, the chocolate a backdrop for that foresty rosemary flavor. It tasted so unique and recognizable at the same time. I'm hooked.

Unfortunately I don't know how to get my hands on more. The chocolates are sold in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and Girona, according to Saveur. They do have a web site, though they don't seem to sell online.
