12-month aged Spanish Manchego + Dried Tart Cherry + 62% cacao dark chocolate

"Back in my Vanderbilt days as a Chemistry major, I spent many a day in the laboratory, where I donned Poindexter goggles and tinkered with combustion as tinctures warmed in Pyrex beakers. As part of my "general" curriculum, I enrolled in the required science classes, joining my classmates each week in small lecture halls where we learned about mitochondria and reaction mechanisms and genetic recombination. It was there that I came across the process of fermentation. Now applying this to the Curious contemplation of Cheese + Chocolate" - Katrina

fruitwood smoked uncured bacon + 72% cacao dark chocolate + Alderwood smoked salt

"I began experimenting with bacon + chocolate at the tender age of 6, while eating chocolate chip pancakes drenched in Aunt Jemima® syrup, as children often do. Beside my chocolate-laden cakes laid three strips of sizzlin' bacon, just barely touching a sweet pool of maple syrup. And then, the magic—just a bite of the bacon was too salty and I yearned for the sweet kiss of chocolate and syrup, so I combined the two. In retrospect, perhaps this was a turning point; for on that plate something magical happened, the beginnings of a combination so ethereal and delicious that it would haunt my thoughts until I found the medium to express it—chocolate. 

From there, it was just a matter of time…and what began as a love of salt and sweet quickly unraveled into an obsession. No sooner could I wait to unveil the royal coupling in solid bar form, a deep milk chocolate with bits and pieces of hickory smoked uncured bacon and just a sprinkling of Alderwood smoked salt. Really, what doesn't taste better with bacon?"

(1) Black Salt Caramel Exotic Chocolate Bar: black Hawaiian sea salt + burnt sugar caramel + 72% cacao dark chocolate

My first black salt caramel creation was born in the form of a truffle for the Marchesa Collection inspired by the 19th century Italian diva, Luisa Casati. She was one of the first femme fatales, known for her grand parties where she would show up with snakes around her neck. It is also said that Casati was spotted walking the streets of Venice at night escorted by cheetahs in jeweled collars. The black Hawaiian salt and dark chocolate are inspired by my muse's signature dark India ink make up. 

Black Hawaiian salt or Hiwa Kai is a blend of sea salt and volcanic charcoal. The salt is harvested naturally in ocean pools that have formed from past volcanic eruptions. The salt's striking obsidian hue is matched only by its flavor on your palate—slightly nutty and smoky—the perfect combination with burnt caramel and dark chocolate. 

Enjoy this most decadent indulgence.

Cooked Whole Milk Caramel infused with Celtic Sea Salt in 45% Dark Milk Chocolate

Taste…The careful conching of our 45% cacao dark milk chocolate results in a deep caramelization of the milk powder and more intense cacao notes, yielding a darker milk chocolate taste. This taste profile complements the "sweet milk" aroma of the bar's dulce de leche-style caramel filling. The cooked whole milk caramel components are juxtaposed against the salinity of Celtic sea salt, harvested from evaporated, briny salt ponds off the Atlantic Ocean

A Golden Milk of Coconut, Turmeric, Ginger and Black Pepper in 45% cacao Dark Milk Chocolate

Taste…Inspired by my sister-in-law, Stephanie, to drink before bed as an Indian, evening elixir. She calls it Golden Milk, and I, so enchanted by the relaxing dusk potion, created a sweet 45% cacao dark milk chocolate with the warm, musky, and slightly bitter aromas of turmeric, fenugreek, cardamom, ginger and nutmeg. A bite of black pepper is added, increasing the bioavailability of the turmeric potency, curcumin. The experience is completed with a crunch of Sri Lankan coconut. Be well.

(1) Smoke and Stout Caramel Chocolate Bar: Forbidden Root beer + Alderwood smoked salt + burnt sugar caramel + 70% cacao dark chocolate

My original inspiration came from a desire to create a product a bit more masculine in nature. My love of chocolate stout made it an obvious choice. Pondering other flavors to play with the beer, I decided on smoke and chose Alderwood smoked salt to flavor the caramel. 

This bar has been my obsession this year. It is one of the best things I have tasted in ages. Though inspired with the fellas in mind, I predict it will be a favorite for all.

pink Himalayan salt + burnt sugar caramel +70% cacao dark chocolate

I have always had a love affair with salt and sweet. I have continued to experiment with different salts from Alder wood smoked salt to black salt and one of my favorites, pink Himalayan salt, to lend the perfect yin to the sweet chocolate's yang. 

The Himalayan Mountains protect the finest sea salt in the world with layers of lava from ancient volcanoes. This safeguard from pollution allowed the 200 million year old pink crystallized salt to be especially pure. Using the excavated blocks of crystal to heat their homes, the people of Himalayas balanced their meridian points of the body by using the 84 minerals it contains parallel to that of the human body's. 

The flavor benefit of the salt in chocolate is obvious and though less easy to detect, the more nutritive properties offer an added boost.

Alderwood Smoked Salt and Cocoa Nibs in 80% Dark Chocolate

Taste…Pacific sea salts are cold smoked over Alderwood from the Pacific Northwest to produce dark brown crystals with a strong, smoky aroma. The granules are blended into our Super Dark 80% cacao chocolate, our most intense variety, with deep roasted vegetation, dried fruit and a touch of tart berry to its parfum. The concoction is finally kissed with the slightly bitter and heart-healthy crunch of Ghana cocoa nibs.

(1) hickory smoked almonds + Fleur de Sel grey sea salt + 45% cacao deep milk chocolate

"The truth is, I wanted to use Marcona almonds, but the best Marcona almonds are fried and slabbed in oil. Oil and chocolate do NOT mix. So I found an alternate smoked almond and added sea salt. The smoky note sort of emulates the fried taste. Little did I know I would develop the cult following…chocolate + salt."

Grade A Matcha and Mint in 45% Dark Milk Chocolate

Taste…Dulcet notes yield from high temperature conching of the milk chocolate providing the caramelized base for a crisp mint top note with an accent of matcha. As each square melts, it reveals the lingering grassy, vegetal aromas of ceremonial tea leaving your mind and body with an energeticcharge. I sourced our bright green Matcha tea from the towns of Nishio and Uji in Japan, where it is stone ground. Its amino acids bring a rich, umami flavor to boost memory and concentration, detoxify the body, and fortify the immune system.
