I had the pleasure of trying the Harvest Chocolate Seasonal Bar Passion Fruit Blood Orange Oat Milk Chocolate as part of Seek Chocolate Shop’s February Dark + Milk Chocolate Subscription Box. This seasonal bar promises a unique flavor experience with the combination of passion fruit, blood orange, and oat milk chocolate.
About Harvest Chocolate
Harvest Chocolate is a company that prioritizes using simple, organic ingredients and fair-trade practices to make their chocolate. They source their cacao beans from various countries such as Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, and Ghana, and use only the season’s best harvest for their fruit ingredients. They make their chocolate from scratch, from purchasing the beans to packaging their bars and everything in between. The Harvest Chocolate Seasonal Bar Passion Fruit Blood Orange Oat Milk Chocolate weighs 1.7 oz and is vegan and gluten-free. It’s made in Tecumseh, Michigan.
Packaging
The Harvest Chocolate Seasonal Bar Passion Fruit Blood Orange Oat Milk Chocolate comes in a plastic wrapper with a simple yet impactful design. The bold orange color of the wrapper immediately catches the eye. I also like the design of the back of the wrapper. It has the Harvest Chocolate logo with a black background.
Appearance
The bar has smooth milk chocolate on one side, while the other side is decorated with dried passion fruit and blood orange pieces, giving it a textured, decorated appearance.
Aroma and Flavor
Upon opening the wrapper, a subtle cacao aroma mixed with the strong scent of blood orange fills the air. The Harvest Chocolate Seasonal Bar Passion Fruit Blood Orange Oat Milk Chocolate delivers a sweet burst of tart brightness with every bite. The passion fruit and blood orange take center stage, while the oat milk chocolate serves as a complementary background flavor. I wished that the cacao flavor is more pronounced.
Mouthfeel
The oat milk used in the chocolate gives it a slightly less creamy mouthfeel than traditional dairy milk chocolate. Nonetheless, the chocolate still melts smoothly in your mouth.
Quality
Harvest Chocolate uses only the season’s best harvest for their fruit ingredients, ensuring a high-quality taste experience.
Ethics
Harvest Chocolate sources their cacao beans from various countries and farmers, using fair-trade practices to support local and international farmers. They also prioritize using simple, organic ingredients in their chocolate.
Conclusion
Overall, the Harvest Chocolate Seasonal Bar Passion Fruit Blood Orange Oat Milk Chocolate is a unique and delicious treat that offers a flavorful experience with each bite. Not only does Harvest Chocolate prioritize using ethically sourced ingredients, but their commitment to supporting local and international farmers sets them apart from other chocolate makers.
