I received an Easter egg! Yes I know, I should have waited until Sunday to crack it open... 🐣But I was too curious! 😄 What would you have done? . I tasted a few of Mina's pralines already. Based in Belgium, she uses ingredients from the Mediterranean and Middle East countries. Here she displayed figs from Evia Island, dried oranges, organic dried sour cherries from Mount Olympus, pistacchios from Aegina Island, almonds from Kavala... and handmade bonbons with Valrhona. Cant wait to taste them! (Yes, I am waiting a little 😉) . #easter #egg #chocolate #andchocolate #minachocolates #greece #mediterranean #specialtychocolate #bonbons #belgium #rhodesaintgenese

Neighbours! While I am waiting for my sourdough bread to rise, I took a new bar in my stash from 🇫🇷 French makers from La Fèverie: their Colombia Arhuaco 72%. . 🔬 Hasnaâ is a chocolatier and a chocolate maker from Bordeaux. She started making her own bars a few years ago. Here it is a 2 ingredient bar, with beans from Colombia and organic cane sugar. . 👀 Beautiful, shiny mold reflecting my window as you can see! . 👅 The mouthfeel is a little gritty. Flavourwise, it burst with flavours: I got spices, overripe fruits, caramel, a hint of smoke, wood, and astringency and chocolatey notes in the end. An interesting bar! Wish I had other bars to try 😋 . #finechocolate #beantobarchocolate #beantobar #specialtychocolate #chocolate #andchocolate #instataste #instafood #chocolatelovers #chocolove #lafeverie #colombia #darkchocolate

Travel to New Zealand! 🌏🛩Paul from @chocoladeverkopers suggested me this one and oh, he was right! Another discovery crafted by @hogarthchocolate . 🍫 As usual, the gorgeous packaging and mold of Hogarth. Even the golden wrapper is beautiful! (Couldnt help but taking a pic!) . 🔬 Unwrapping a white chocolate bar - 34% cocoa butter - with a perfect combo: walnuts and maple oil 🍁 How is it?👃wise: super enticing aroma coming out of the wrapper: sweet, maple and walnuts. . 👅Smooth with pieces of walnuts inside the bar. Some vanilla was added, too. It is sweet, I mean, really sweet, with clear taste of maple, walnuts, dairy, so good. (But what else do we need in these times, uh?) It reminds me of autumn in Canada 😄 The aftertaste is long. Maybe because I ate already too much? 😜 . #specialtychocolate #beantobarchocolate #beantobar #finechocolate #craftchocolate #chocolatelovers #chocolate #andchocolate #chocolateisgoodforyou #hogarthchocolate #maple #newzealand

Going to Cornwall today to taste the Wild Gorse Flower milk bar 50% from Chocolarder. . 💮 What are these? Small yellow flowers found across the Cornish landscape that are hand picked, then steeped in cocoa butter (pressed from their beans!). Added to the beans, milk powder and sugar 🍫 . 🔬Result? 👀 A beautifully tempered mold. 👃A deep coconut scent;👅a little grainy chocolate with a clear, strong coconut 🌴 flavour, with notes of honey and a hint of fruits in the end. The taste of coconut remains long after the chocolate is gone. A comforting kind of chocolate. . #specialtychocolate #beantobarchocolate #beantobar #finechocolate #craftchocolate #chocolatelovers #chocolate #andchocolate #chocolateisgoodforyou #milkchocolate #chocolarder #cornwall #wildgorseflower

It is a harsh time for many, including chocolate makers and chocolatiers. So let's do what we can to support them! 🙌 . I drew a list 📃 of local chocolate makers and chocolatiers & retailers in Belgium and how they sell (online, pick up, etc) 🇧🇪. Including those who had to close down because they had no other choice. Let's buy smart, now or when they reopen. #strongtogether #supportlocal .

Since we are stuck at home, let's 'chocolate travel' ! 🌏This time in India with the Austrian makers Zart Pralinen, met at the Salon du chocolat Brussels earlier this year. . 🔎Zart pralinen started in 2011 with bonbons, before starting making chocolate from scratch. They offer now a range of bonbons & specialty chocolate (India, Tanzania, Nicaragua...) and fancy bars with licorice, pumpkin seeds, focusing on local ingredients. . 🍫 Here the beans were fermented and dried by @goground.india based in Kerala, south of India. To which the makers added organic Austrian sugar and a bit of cocoa butter. . 🔬This bar has a little grainy mouthfeel. Flavourwise, it has notes of citrus/grapefruit 🍋, a hint of spices, followed by red fruits. Lovely! I finished it already 😁 . #specialtychocolate #beantobarchocolate #beantobar #finechocolate #craftchocolate #chocolatelovers #chocolate #andchocolate #chocolateisgoodforyou #zartpralinen #india #gogroundindia #idukki
