Paccari’s 60% Cacao Organic Chocolate with Roses is a gourmet bar designed for those seeking an organic dark chocolate with a unique flavor profile: the gentle intensity of the cacao (60%) and a floral rose aroma that complements—rather than overpowers—the flavor. The result is balanced, elegant, and very easy to enjoy—perfect for a mini tasting at home, a special after-dinner treat, or as a gourmet chocolate gift in Spain.
If you like chocolates with nuanced flavors (not just “cocoa and that’s it”), this bar is for you: first comes the cocoa, followed by a soft, enveloping hint of rose.
What does Paccari's 60% cocoa organic chocolate with roses taste like?
The profile is smooth and accessible, ideal even if you don't usually go for very high percentages.
- First impression: aromatic cocoa, medium intensity, and balanced sweetness.
- Center: The rose comes through as a delicate (not cloying) floral note.
- Finish: clean and fragrant, with a pleasant aftertaste.
How to Enjoy It (Mini Tasting at Home)
- Use your sense of smell first: cut off 1–2 squares and smell them for 5–10 seconds.
- Let it melt, don't rush: let the chocolate melt a little before you chew it.
- Water between sips: room-temperature water to better appreciate the contrast between the cocoa and rose flavors.
Food and Wine Pairings That Work in Spain
- Black tea (such as Earl Grey) or a mild herbal tea: brings out the floral notes.
- Filter coffee or mild Americano: complements the rose without “overpowering” it.
- Oat or almond milk: perfect for making aromatic hot chocolate.
- Berries (strawberries, raspberries): the contrast gives it a real “signature dessert” feel.
Easy Recipes (5–12 min) with 60% Cacao Organic Chocolate with Roses
- 1) Floral yogurt bowl (5 min)
- Plain or Greek yogurt.
- Grate 10–15 g of Paccari organic 60% cocoa chocolate with roses.
- Top it off with strawberries or raspberries and a sprinkle of granola.
- 2) “Premium Strawberries” (7 min)
- Melt 20–25 g in a double boiler or over very low heat.
- Pour the mixture over the strawberries and let it chill for 3–4 minutes to set.
- Tip: A pinch of fine salt brings out the cocoa's flavor more intensely.
- 3) Floral Hot Chocolate (10–12 min)
- Heat 200 ml of milk or plant-based milk without bringing it to a boil.
- Add 20–25 g of chopped chocolate and mix until combined.
- Optional: orange zest (just a touch) for a more aromatic finish.
Quick Tips (So It Always Turns Out "Gourmet")
- Don't store it in the refrigerator if you can help it: a cool, dry place is best for preserving its aroma.
- Grate it instead of chopping it when using it in yogurt or desserts: this helps the rose aroma spread more evenly.
- Small portions: The floral aroma is best enjoyed in small sips.
- Pair it with fruit: strawberries, raspberries, or oranges go especially well with it.
