Caro chocolate
 

Can anyone tell me something about this Spanish chocolate? I just got some
of their dark (no percentage noted) at Whole Foods. Reminds me of
Ghiradelli's bittersweet. Googling produced nothing of interest.

Regards,
Dean

Caro is a confectioner out of Aragon, specialising mostly in chocolate-
covered fruits. As you point out they do produce block chocolate as well. I
found them to be OK although not great, the dark chocolate having a
definite raisin signature and the milk chocolate bearing a caramel coconut
nuance. Their website is http://www.chocoter.com, although you do need to
be able to read Spanish. They're a fairly new company. Interestingly, Caro
means "expensive" in Spanish. (They're not especially expensive, though)

The Spanish caro has the same alternative definition of dear
as we have in English: 'beloved'.

Alex,

Thanks for the reply. I found the chocolate pleasant, but not exciting. I
think WF was charging around US$8.00/pound, about what they charge for El
Rey.
