The flavor of chocolate is quite complex. Our experience of chocolate includes 4 of the 5 tastes, acid, sweet, bitter, astringent. Aromas are key to recognizing familiar and nostalgic foods that we are able to name. so flavor is the combination of taste and aroma.
Flavor then is unique to each person. No two people can taste exactly the same way however, sharing this experience is bonding and enlightening, and just fun.
Chocolate is a fermented food. It pairs adventurously with wine and beer.
Roasting is an important step in making chocolate. These robust flavors create harmony with coffee and tea and other roasted foods.
The cocoa bean is approximately 50% cocoa butter and it melts at the temperature of our skin. The experience of this fat on the palate is rich and unctuous and that pairs nicely with cheeses and wines.
chocolate is called ‘the food of gods’ and it is highly nutritious.
