Vanini Dark Chocolate with Rosemary

I'm a huge fan of new chocolate bars and flavours. Here's a flavour combination that I have never seen before. It comes from Italian chocolate maker ICAM who have been around for over 60 years (so they should know their stuff by now) and the new Vanini range of bars is made in Italy from Peruvian cocoa. So, it's high quality choc and not to be guzzled in one sitting! There are six bars in the range; three milk and three dark. I prefer milk, but couldn't resist trying this new combination of dark chocolate with rosemary. 
The bar itself uses small sugared pieces of rosemary which give it a slightly crunchy texture. Rosemary is a strong herb, and this sugary coating takes the edge off, and compliments the bitter 62% dark chocolate. It works well and leaves an overall spiciness which remains long after the chocolate has melted in your mouth. Great if you're after something different.
£2.49 in Waitrose
