I was wondering if anyone is familiar with or perhaps tasted their chocolates. They have a distributor here who met with me and gave me a box. Thanks

Well, what did the chocolates taste like to you?

They certainly have a huge selection for sale and lots of catalogs, etc, not to mention an outlet in Dubai. But are they any good?

well, to be honest I began wondering if I can assess someone else's chocolates! Is it personal taste? Time of the day? My mood? You know how one time even a cup of coffee can taste like the best whereas at another time it is just okay?

Well me thoughts-

Ginger-I liked it very much-that nice hot gingery taste came through.

Mint- didn't enjoy-too minty or earthy as well

Coffee- okay kind of weird cause the shell bottom and then sides cracked off. The whole bottom came off!

Tiramisu - okay

Flowers-nice

the others were good but the ganache seemed very heavy to me. I usually prefer a dense ganache but these seemed maybe too dense and heavy.

They are "all natural" and yet have a shelf life of 3 months at temp of 14-22. Some have a 6 month shelf life. I do not know how this is accomplished.

Personal taste cannot really be measured can it?

It appears to be a huge company with a terrific output, but I found quite a lot of the presentations not to my liking. But then I too have strong likes and dislikes.

Perhaps you are the only one who has tasted their confections. I wonder if they are a new company? I'll go back and look.

ps. Should add that I do not like milk chocolate and never have.
