The Bitter… and the Sweet. Uganda 80% extra dark paired with Dominican Republic caramelized white (aka The redemption of white chocolate).
I recently heard a great acronym for the word 'Life'.
Love. In. Full. Expression.
We didn't sign up for just sweetness and light when we signed up for this life. (Although you could pretend for a minute with a pure Redemption of White Chocolate Bar). We signed up for all of it. The goodbyes and the hellos. Laughter and tears. The fullness of life.
French chocolatier Michel Chaudun says so beautifully of chocolate (I am paraphrasing):
Sweet, as the love it inspires. Bitter, as the pain it consoles.
On the dark side of the chocolate we've got the depth of the flavors providing contrast and mystery. Layered with light, sweet joy. Representing life in a double-sided chocolate bar is a little simplistic - it should be more like a thousand-faceted disco ball. But I couldn't duplicate that with a bar.
When you're tasting this bar it's fun to flip it over in your mouth as it's melting, noting the play between the bitter and the sweet along the journey.
Available in the large 3 oz Grand Adventure Bar. (Because of the tricky double-pour, these are often over 3 oz.)
