ok, so yesterday was all about holiday shopping for the coffee snob. how about the chocolate snob? for those who must have hard-to-find and/or artisanal chocolates:


  • chocosphere; highly regarded by many, altho' i have never ordered from them

  • e-chocolates; also highly regarded by many -- again, i've not used them personally but they did seem cool when i chatted them up at the chocolate show

  • hypergourmet; i want to order from these people soon, if not for the chocolate, then certainly for the buffalo terrine. . .

  • cocoa coop; i think they're still in business, and until i hear otherwise, i'll give ya the link

  • desserts to die for; the inventor of the death by chocolate cake now sells cookies fatales

  • donnelly; i hear more and more good things about this guy's chocolate

  • jacques torres; i love this stuff. . .i love this stuff. . .

  • bernard callebaut; the scion of the belgian chocolate giant, which is no longer an independent firm, went to canada and is devoting himself to luxury chocolate

  • burdick; widely proclaimed chocolate genius, his little mice are just the cutest and taste great too

  • knipschildt; the unsurpassed, perfect truffle, if i do say so myself


again, there are so many many places to get premium chocolate nowadays. it used to be hard to find even lindt! but now we enjoy a wide revival of the chocolate and a new movement devoted to cocoa stuff of the highest quality. . .
