Sounds like I'll have to check out Kee's. 1- Patrice Chapon...for their ganache pieces but not their "pure-origin" chocolates. 2- Francois Pralus for their single-origin dark chocolates. 3- Green & Black's for their Mayan Gold. :: Chapon: Two stores in Paris, one in Chelles. The basil ganache and pistachio ganache aren't bad. I've made my pilgrimage to both stores in Paris last year, but the one I remember had the walls covered in vintage chocolate molds. In NYC, Zabar's did sell boxes of Chapon chocolates once -- during the winter holidays; we'll see about this year. There was also a Chapon booth at the city's annual chocolate show maybe two or three years back. They were noticeably absent from the 2005 event, but maybe they'll be back for the one coming up in November. Counting down the days. :: Francois Pralus: Sold by various online vendors; based in Roanne. Attention all you eG readers who don't want another ganache place! We first encountered Pralus at the 2005 chocolate show, but we're hoping they'll give us another reason to attend this year's chocolate show. Their "Pyramide" collection of ten single-origin bars (75% cocoa content) -- "single origin" is sometimes misleading, but it's what they claim on their advertising -- with each bar representing varieties from Jamaica, Indonesia, Sao Tome, Trinidad, Venezuela, Vanuatu, Ghana, Madagascar, Colombia, and Equador. In our chocolate blind-taste-test-game (we don't have a TV, can you tell?), we sample these chocolates and then try to articulate the taste and texture of each sample to match the corresponding description on the package. Really, this is more fun than watching TV! :: Green & Black's: Maybe you can get their chocolates anywhere now. I first got the Maya Gold chocolate bars as a Christmas present in England. I bought a few more soon after at an Oxfam shop, but my supply didn't last long enough across the Atlantic. Fortunately, Green & Black's is sold at Fairway, Zabar's and even the nearby Italian supermarket, and of course they made a couple of appearances at the NY chocolate show. What's curious to me is that some people swear the Maya Gold chocolate bought in England tastes spicier than the ones bought in New York. Anyone want to confirm/refute?
