Special bonbon tasting yesterday! In our tasting group, we usually taste bars, but we did make an exception this time to compare bonbons made with craft bean-to-bar chocolate.🍫 . 6 different makers: Blondeel, Mi Joya, Gerbaud, Nihant, Marcolini & Van Dender. There were ganaches (origin & inclusions) and gianduja. We checked the outer appearance, aromas, taste, etc...so nice to learn how to judge bonbons! . 🕵️‍♀️My favourites: @laurentgerbaud 's Gare aux noisettes (top notch ferrero rocher with almost liquid hazelnut pasta and nibs inside) and his black olive ganache (such a lovely balance btw earthiness, bitterness and sweetness, with pieces of olives); & @mijoyatervuren s gianduja made with Piemont Hazelnut + homemade chocolate India (great roasted hazelnut notes and fruitiness of his choc) 😋 . #craftchocolate #specialtychocolate #beantobarchocolate #beantobar #finechocolate #chocolatelovers #chocolate #chocolovers #instataste #instagood #instafood #foodie #andchocolate #lifeischocolate #bonbons #laurentgerbaud #pierremarcolini #vandender #benoitnihant #mijoya #fredericblondeel

Copenhague trip did include a visit to a local craft bean to bar maker: Bean Geeks . We had the chance to discuss at length with Mads and taste his chocolate, incl the difference between a Costa Rica hand roasted and roasted in a roasting machine: and a difference there is! His caramelized beer malt is a pure treat I couldnt get enough of. . A great visit organised by Terese @chocolateunpacked in lovely company: @midis_choc @saratrioni7 @chocolatelady.cz and @kathrynlaverack 😄😎 . #craftchocolate #specialtychocolate #beantobarchocolate #beantobar #finechocolate #chocolatelovers #chocolate #chocolovers #instataste #instagood #instafood #foodie #andchocolate #lifeischocolate #beangeek #copenhagen

2nd day at the @chocawards in Copenhagen ! In very good company 😄😎 . #craftchocolate #specialtychocolate #beantobarchocolate #beantobar #finechocolate #chocolatelovers #chocolate #chocolovers #instataste #instagood #instafood #foodie #andchocolate #lifeischocolate

Getting ready to taste dozens of chocolate at the European bean-to-bar competition of @chocawards with this Boho 62% chocolate + cacao nibs! . As you can see, the nibs are included in the bar rather than sprinkled on the top. There are lots of them, resulting in a really crunchy bar. My fear that this bar might be too sweet for me didnt materialize: thx to this inclusion, it reaches a nice balance. . Only one Boho bar left to discover. The potato chips remains my favourite 😊 . #craftchocolate #specialtychocolate #beantobarchocolate #beantobar #finechocolate #chocolatelovers #chocolate #chocolovers #instataste #instagood #instafood #foodie #andchocolate #lifeischocolate #bohochocolate #nibs #

White chocolate today! With @williescacao El Blanco 😎 . Thanks to several suggestions, incl Lilla's @littlebeetle_chocolates I get to taste this white chocolate bar (yes, this IS chocolate!) 🍫 . To be said: a contrario to an average white bar, this one is not very sweet. The reason being: 36% cocoa butter + 34% of milk powder = as much added sugar as in a 70% chocolate. Meaning, not that much. For the rest, this is a lovely creamy white bar. . #craftchocolate #specialtychocolate #beantobarchocolate #beantobar #finechocolate #chocolatelovers #chocolate #chocolovers #instataste #instagood #instafood #foodie #andchocolate #lifeischocolate #whitechocolate #williescacao
