Kesshō Sichuan Hot Pot 62% Dark Chocolate Bar – Single Origin

Savory. Nutty. Tingly. Completely unexpected.

Inspired by the flavors of Sichuan hot pot, Kesshō brings together single-origin Ugandan dark chocolate with fermented black beans, toasted white sesame, Sichuan green pepper, chili and a touch of sea salt.

At 62% cacao, this isn't simply a “spicy chocolate bar.” The experience is much more interesting. First comes the dark chocolate and savory umami, followed by toasted sesame and nutty spice. Then the Sichuan pepper begins to make itself known with its distinctive, gentle tingle and numbing sensation.

The heat is mild—the flavor is the adventure.

The Curious Finish:
Don't rush this one. Let it melt and notice how the experience changes. Where does the chocolate end and the savory begin? And when do you first notice that unmistakable Sichuan tingle?
