PASCHA Organic Dark Chocolate (Allergen Free!)

“70% Cacao Passionately Pure Pascha Organic Dark Chocolate. Free from Peanuts, Nuts, Dairy, Soy, Eggs, Wheat and Gluten”. I almost pinched myself after reading that on the label. Is this real?

Moser Roth Dominican Republic 75% Cocoa
February 8, 2016
Previously, I wrote a review on a Moser Roth single origin milk chocolate sourced from Ghana. For today's review, this single origin dark chocolate bar is made from cacao grown in the Dominican Republic.
In recent years, the Dominican Republic exported roughly 62,000 tons of cacao, about 55% of that was organic. The country uses around 805,000 acres to grow organic crops.

January 18, 2016
During the holiday season, I was leisurely strolling along State Street in Madison, Wisconsin, with friends, when they abruptly steered me into a sweets shop.
While sugared candies quickly got their attention, I focused on finding the chocolate. I ran into the homemade fudge first, but I am OK with that kind of distraction!
