Fennel & Bergamot Dark Chocolate
66% São Tomé

We paired two Mediterranean flavours with the full-bodied 66% dark chocolate from São Tomé. Aromatic wild fennel seeds are from the KoruKai Herb Farm, Banks Peninsula.

Wild fennel is an ancient plant with a unique scent. The seeds have a licorice-like sweet and spicy flavour with citrus undertones.

Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) is a highly aromatic cousin of the sweet orange.  Its scent is more floral and spicy than other citrus fruits. Did you know that bergamot is behind the unique flavour of Earl Grey tea?
