Expert Tips For Savouring Handmade Artisan Chocolate

​​1️⃣ Start with a Clean Palate and Sniff 

Begin your chocolate adventure with a fresh start. Cleanse your palate with room-temperature sparkling water – the ultimate chocolate palate cleanser. All our chocolates are best enjoyed at room temperature, so no need to chill or heat them up! Take a moment to appreciate the aromas by holding the chocolate under your nose before that first delicious bite. Snap it into pieces to release more flavour molecules, enhancing your overall chocolate experience.

2️⃣ Let it Melt, Unveil the Quality 

Distinguish superior chocolate by its slow melt. Craft chocolate, unlike commodity chocolate, will maintain its shape and gently melt, revealing a multi-dimensional flavour profile. Allow the chocolate to melt on your tongue before you chew, and notice how the flavours shift, unveiling hidden tasting notes. 

3️⃣ Smaller Bites, Big Flavours! 

Delight in the complexity of our handmade artisan chocolates by taking smaller, deliberate bites. Let each piece rest on your tongue, savouring the gradual melt. Don’t hesitate to take a second bite – it might reveal new nuances or confirm your initial impressions. Trust your palate, explore the layers of flavour, and relish the unique artistry in each bite.

4️⃣ Don’t Keep it in the Fridge! 

Just like fine wine, our chocolates need to breathe. Store them in a cool, dry place, away from the fridge, and let them unveil their most authentic flavours. Place any leftover chocolate back in its original packaging for optimal preservation. The magic truly happens when the chocolate is allowed to breathe, offering you an unparalleled tasting experience every time.

5️⃣ Remember, There is No Right Answer 

Tasting chocolate is a personal journey, and there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Even the tasting notes on the packaging are not absolute truths. Embrace the fact that everyone's palate is uniquely shaped by culinary backgrounds, preferences, and moods. Trust your own taste buds, appreciate the journey, and conclude with gratitude for all the hands that contributed, from cocoa farmers to chocolate makers.
