Do you know of any chocolate companies that don't use soy lecithin? Because I would like to give some as a thank you, but the person I"m giving it to is allergic to soy. Hi!

The chocolate was so unusual that I had difficulty pinning it down. Now that you mention it, I can see dates in there too. I respectfully disagree on the tropical fruit though. :-) Nice selection of bars you have on Amazon.com, by the way.

Regarding the The 70% San Jose del Tambo bar from Ecuador, I very respectfully don't agree with the reviewer's assessment of the flavors as providing red fruity sensations. Rather, Over the top dried fruits (raisins, dates, figues, and some dried tropical fruit as well). The new bar, Soconusco, FROM MEXICO, is totally cool, with roasted earthy, barky, and faint nutty components overlaying more dried fruits (maybe Shawn Askinosie has a nose dried fruit, or maybe its a coincidence). You can buy both of these bars, and those from many other bean to bar producers, at our shop, The Meadow (www.atthemeadow.com) Askinosie’s practice of making their own cocoa butter puts them in a class by themselves, but more important, the chocolate is, quite simply, delicious, unusual, and interesting.
