Chocolate Passport

"Much like wine, the characteristics of good chocolate are heavily influenced by the earth in which the cacao beans are grown. Trader Joe’s Chocolate Passport takes you on a journey through the terroirs of the cacao-growing world — Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, The Dominican Republic, Ghana, Papua New Guinea, Sao Tome, and Tanzania — delivering a collection of eight distinctive bars of chocolate with cacao solids ranging from 60% to 73%. Each bar conveys character, beyond just “chocolate,” typical for its region. Savor a bite and you may detect jasmine, dried grass, fresh fruit, wood, flowers, and vanilla.As you’ve surely gathered, this is chocolate to be savored. Take a bite, let it linger, and then try another. In honor of the worldly nature of the chocolate’s origins, we’ve placed them in a handsome, highly-giftable passport-like package. Give one to a friend with unsatiated wanderlust, a coworker with a refined palate, or yourself, if you happen to be a fan of world-class chocolate."
