Many people ask what makes our
chocolate taste so good. Our Signature -
D Old World chocolates may have up to
five different chocolates combined to
create the perfect flavor profile for a
particular piece.
These chocolates can be single bean
varietal couverture from Eastern
Venezuela (the Napa Valley of chocolate)
or some other equally exotic spot around
the globe, blended chocolates from
France or Belgium, and a little from
Berkeley.
These couverture chocolates are picked
by piece for their complimentary qualities
and unique flavor profiles. Some are a bit
earthy, some have slight fruity or caramel
undertones. Yes, great chocolate is a lot
like great wine. Full of character and
complexity there for the taking.
We capitalize on these great chocolates
by utilizing exceptional ingredients like
whole Tahitian Vanilla beans, cardamom,
cinnamon, honey collected from lavender
fields in the South of France, whole fruits
like banana, raspberry, figs, and whole
fresh herbs like fresh mint leaves.
