The Great Taste Award-winner 2025

Origin & Craftsmanship
Slitti’s Fino de Aroma line, crafted by Andrea Slitti, brings out the full aromatic depth of select cacao using refined roasting and processing techniques. The Estroso variety features organic Hispaniola cacao (Trinitario type) sourced from the Hato Mayor and El Seibo regions of the Dominican Republic. This single-origin bar is processed with care to highlight the bean’s natural nuance and aromatic profile. 

Flavor Profile
Estroso delivers a rounded, full-bodied chocolate flavor with prominent fruity and nutty aromas, underpinned by complex notes of delicate acidity, slight astringency, and a floral lift. Subtle hints of bergamot and rhubarb add complexity, creating a sophisticated flavor interplay that evolves on the palate. 

Accolades & Awards
While this bar’s site doesn’t list awards, Slitti’s Fino de Aroma collection—in general—is highly praised for capturing nuanced aromatic expression in craft chocolate.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a small piece of the Estroso bar slowly melt on your tongue to first notice its rich fruit and nut notes, followed by a gentle floral brightness and a faint touch of astringency. Pair it with a slightly floral black tea (like Earl Grey) to enhance its bergamot and rhubarb nuances, or enjoy with a delicate glass of sparkling rosé to echo its fruit-forward character. For a textural contrast, pair with toasted almond biscotti or a crisp pear slice — both complement and elevate the bar’s fruity, floral essence.

Summary

The Slitti Fino de Aroma Estroso (Hispaniola BIO, 75%) bar is a masterful expression of Dominican cacao—organic, aromatic, and artfully refined. With its layered fruit, nut, floral, and citrus notes, it stands out as a sophisticated experience for chocolate lovers seeking terroir-driven nuance and craft elegance.
