Yet another new confection was born this week. It is the result of noticing that the 65% Ecuadorian varietal chocolate chosen for this season's featured truffle is deep in flavor and somewhat astringent. The beautiful market pomegranates were speaking to me with their berry taste and astringency. These two were meant for each other.
Made by Guittard Chocolate Company, the Nacional variety of cocoa beans from Ecuador are converted to a dark chocolate characterized by an earthy, deep chocolate flavor, lots of aromatics and lots of antioxidants. So why not add more from the same taste profile found in the pomegranate. The result is a fruit forward chocolate with a lot of taste to occupy the senses and soothe the nerves.
