Babaevsky Dark Chocolate with Cashews and Hazelnuts, 2.46 oz (70g)

Nearly a fifth of this bar is nuts. Crushed hazelnut at 9.9% and crushed cashew at 9.9% — not scattered pieces, but worked right through a 54.8% dark chocolate, so every square has some.

The two nuts do different jobs. Hazelnut gives the roasted, buttery note you expect in a chocolate bar; cashew is softer and sweeter, and it keeps the dark chocolate from reading as severe. Together they make this the most forgiving of Babaevsky's dark range.

Babaevsky has been in Moscow since 1804 and remains the name most associated with serious Russian dark chocolate.
