A Chocolate Story...hard work but someone has to do it!

A few weeks ago I had a bit of a “Goldilocks Experience”.  The amazing Chocolatier, Julie Lachowyn, of Pomona Chocolates  created a Chocolate tasting experience based on our personal request for a Kitchens Bounty Signature Chocolate.  Now when we described the richness, the depth…and the sophistication of this desired chocolate “bite” an amazing idea hit our Chocolate Artist.  Why not bring the richness of our favorite Cranberry Cordial into the Chocolate, enhanced with special spices to elevate the “bite”.  

The Chocolate experiment ensued in our friends’ laboratory…and the resulting tasting was played out at our own tables.  Here is where the Goldilocks analogy comes into play! (No Bears were harmed in the making of this story).    First, all of the three chocolate “subjects” were wonderful.  But with that being said, one was a little too soft, one was a little too intense, and then Nirvana…one…that last beautiful one, was” Just Right”!

Yes friends, it was a “difficult job”, but really – someone has to do it!  The said “Just Rights” have arrived; they are named The French Kiss and are anointed with our own Bounty signature.
Our Chocolatier describes them as so:

The Signature Chocolate, “The French Kiss”, begins with Reserve Cranberry Cordial and steaming heavy cream infused with fragrant Allspice and Pink Peppercorn berries. This elixir is slowly stirred into a blend of chocolates carefully selected to best complement the spice and fruit notes.  This delicate ganache is then encased in a bittersweet cacao shell. I believe we have delivered the perfect signature chocolate – the sweet ending to memorable dining!

And so, because if one is good…two is better, we had Julie create our own unique Chocolate Bark enhanced with the Kitchens Bounty French Velvet Roast Coffee …described as follows:

The Chocolate Bark, (The French Velvet Fractures) features the House coffee beans generously scattered over rich dark chocolate.  This is finished with a fine drizzle of premium white chocolate... a delicate sweetness amid rich mocha bliss. Voila….

So we have arrived, actually “they” have arrived, ready for our guest, soon on-line for your tastings at home….
We look forward to you joining us soon in person, let the culinary celebrations continue! 
Wishing you Chocolate Joy!
