Chocolate Tasting Journey
$45.00 (30 pieces)
Take a journey to Peru, Madagascar, Bolivia, Tanzania, and the Dominican Republic as you taste chocolates made with cacao beans from each of these countries. This set of six tasting pieces from five countries that produce fine quality cacao was inspired by my recent trip to Paris, where I bought a similar collection of chocolates. It’s an ideal way to experience the many different flavor notes that emerge during the process of growing, fermenting, roasting, and transforming cacao beans into chocolate.
- Sample 2-3 different tasting pieces at a time, noticing how the flavors evolve as each chocolate melts in your mouth.
- Try the chocolates in a different order and on different days—your favorite may change each time.
- Invite family and friends to join you for a tasting.
- Pair the chocolates with wine or whisky and see how the flavor experience changes.
- Enjoy snacking on the tasting pieces when you need a chocolate pick-me-up.
For the holidays, the Chocolate Tasting Journey (available soon) will be wrapped in a handmade, festive cloth gift bag. (Let me know in the Order Notes if you would prefer a decorative blue cloth gift bag instead of a Christmas-themed design.)
Shipping (Priority Mail, US only): I don't ship where the temperature is above 70°. $12 flat rate. Additional charges may apply for large orders. See the About section for more information on shipping and returns.

Mellow Madagascar
Price range: $16.00 through $55.00
It takes a really great chocolate for me to add to my current variety of chocolates made by Valrhona in France. I tasted this single-origin Madagascar chocolate, made by Felchlin in Switzerland, during a class I took with Luis Amado, an internationally renowned chocolatier. After trying it again at home, I knew I wanted another dark chocolate for everyone else to enjoy as well.
The chocolate delivers a well-balanced fruity taste that is less acidic than some other chocolates made with Madagascar cacao beans. It has a hint of roasted nuts, forest berries, and warm spices, with a lovely, lingering finish.
