Today we started out with another great chocolate tasting with Amedei chocolates. The Porcelana was probably my favorite chocolate of the entire interim. It was smooth and creamy and had nutty overtones that were well balanced. It had minimal tartness for a 70% chocolate. The Chuao was milky with a fruity taste at the end. I could get notes of red wine that I enjoyed. The 9 started our having very little flavor, but then I got tastes of nuts and coffee. It was the most astringent of the three. None of them had too bad of a cocoa bite.
Our cheese tasting today started out with a Taleggio. It was creamy and had a strong smell. It was very sticky and had a tang at the end. The Morbier Raw Milk was denser and had a similar smell to the first one. It had a strong tangy bite and had a barnyard taste. The Chimay had a very pungent smell. It was salty and extremely sour. This cheese burned my mouth pretty bad, not a pleasant bite.
