A sweet event - Chocolate Tasting Party!
February 2012
Embedded Files
Yesterday was Valentine's Day - and that means it's unofficially chocolate overdose season. Chocolate has exploded as an industry since I was a kid, when you had a choice between Hershey's kisses or Hershey's bars (I am from Pennsylvania). Happily, there's someone to help us sort through the mire of chocolate options today - my friend, C.
C has been hosting her Chocolate Tasting parties since 2007, and tracking the results here. This past weekend we gathered to indulge ourselves in 54 samples of local chocolate and compare them to the favorites from last year.
Each sample chocolate is given a bird pseudonym for the tasting
What did we learn?
- Swiss chocolate is delicious,
- Trader Joe's brand is a good bet, and
- Local chocolate is can be delicious, sometimes.
The winners from this year?
- E. Wedel Milk Chocolate from Poland (imported)
- Lindt Excellence Milk (available at any grocery store)
- Freia Melkesjokolade, the national chocolate of Norway (imported)
- Trader Joe's Swiss Milk Chocolate (made in the Villars factory in Switzerland)
One we didn't taste-test that is my personal favorite, and very much like the Swiss winner is the TCHO Serious Milk "Classic" with caramel flavors.
