Dagoba - Roseberry 60
The Dagoba line of chocolates is organic and sweetened with evaporated cane juice instead of sugar, lending a certain nuance to all of their chocolates. The beans used for their unflavored bars come from their signature mélange of origins.

The bars are nicely packaged in a paper-lined gold foil that makes drive-by snacking easy. Slight imperfections are noticeable and the color is a medium-dark brown pointing to the fact that aesthetics are not a focus for this maker. The bar is smaller than many at 2.0 oz, and is laid out in such a way that separating a piece is not easy. The shape is that of a modified Kit-Kat bar, and it makes getting a taste into your mouth a multi-step process.

The aroma of this Roseberry is an upfront raspberry scent with maybe a hint of rose. This bar is very brittle most likely due to the inclusion of real dried raspberries. The flavors start out with peaches and citrus, mellowing into coffee and then berry. The chocolate melts relatively quickly and you will find yourself left with a tongue-full of seeds and bits or rosehip to chew up. Some will enjoy this texture dichotomy, others will not. The flavor is definitely fruity and the texture is a combination of smooth chocolate and dried fruit bits.

This bar is unique and very different from the traditional chocolate ?artificial raspberry flavor combination. Priced at $1.25/oz. it is a reasonable value for an organic chocolate, and will be most appreciated by those who are looking for something a little unusual.

Maker Notes:
Our signature dark chocolate blended with Oregon dried raspberries and bits of rosehips for an uplifting sensation. Nominated for Best New Product in the 2003 NASFT best product awards.
