Guittard Chocolates
|
Suddenly it seems in the chocolate business that the source of the chocolate has become big news. Similar to what coffee did in the early days when Alfred Peet introduced us to many varieties.
Guittard company in San Francisco has been making chocolate for generations. They are now labeling where their chocolates are coming from:
Machu Picchu, Peru - lush, rich, herbacious and fruity all at once
Ocumare Venzuela - creamy smooth, with a slightly firm backnote; creamy and soft and sweet aftertaste along with that firm, slightly bitter richness.
Quevedo, Ecuador - Dark color, soft, sweet, gentle on palate - slightly sweet and smooth on the palate
Chuchuri Bittersweet, Colombia - soft at start of taste; toasty, dry, long lingering that softness has an herbacious backnoe.
Tsaratina 61%
Quetzalcoatl 72%
All of these are 65% cacao with some sugar and vanilla.
