chocolate shootout

fabulous scaa consumer member marshall fuss has apparently been completely corrupted by my acquaintance. this is a very good thing.

thus recently he was found in a gourmet store on his cellphone to me, picking thru various chocolate choices.

in the end, he settled for 2 single-origin chocolates from noted artisan producer bonnat -- the chuao and the trinity -- and a bar of valrhona noir.

the winner: i think his wife preferred the valrhona, as so many chefs do. single-origin chocolates are like single-origin espresso.

they highlight the different facets of the particular bean; but for the fuller flavor and balanced profile most people expect, a blend is often going to be most satisfying!
