About 2 months ago, I had the pleasure of meeting…

…Anne Schuette, who was born on April 7th, 1905!

Anne lives with her daughter and family in Fort Myers (and in Illinois), and here she is enjoying our Norman Love Confections cake and gourmet chocolate for her 105th birthday!

Thanks for sharing your photos Anne & family!

About a week ago, a family came into our Our Salon…

…and brought their 10 month old daughter in for her very first taste of chocolate.

Her name is Natalia, and boy, did she enjoy our Gourmet Chocolate!

According to her grandparents, she’s hooked!

Natalia may be our youngest fan yet.

Enjoy,

If you love gourmet dark chocolate, over the next few posts…

I’m going to review each of our Ultra-Premium BLACK chocolates (click play, above, to see our commercial for our ultra-premium BLACK selection).

Each of the five dark chocolates included in our BLACK selection represents one of the world’s premium growing regions, from which its cocoa beans originated. Rare Criollo and Trinitario beans – the pinnacle of quality cocoa – were selected, allowing you to experience the distinct flavor of these top quality beans while comparing the subtleties of each region.

Unique in its intensity, BLACK contains an extraordinarily high cocoa mass, ranging from 74% to 64%.  BLACK is made exclusively using fine, quality Swiss Grand Cru chocolate by renowned manufacturer Max Felchlin.  The collection’s robustly flavored shells are filled with a sensuous chocolate ganache of matching origin.  Chocolate aficionados, prepare for a culinary adventure you won’t soon forget!

Our Ultra-Premium BLACK chocolates are available in our BLACK Gift Boxes (in 5, 10 and 15 piece boxes), and in our BLACK Sipping Chocolates on our web site (for online ordering), or in our Salon.

Enjoy!
