Kakao

Sunday 26 August 2007

This is very expensive Venezuelan chocolate. They are both flavored high-quality dark chocolate (mango on the right, some kind of flower on the left) covered with white chocolate. One of my co-workers is Venezuelan, and he recently informed me that Venezuelan chocolate is supposed to be some of the best in the world. Switzerland, Belgian, Germany, they all get their chocolate from Venezuela. So, on his recommendation, we sought some out. (Well, it didn't really take much recommending.) These are from a very fancy little shop, extremely expensive but worth it, in Belgrano. We got six - these two, raspberry, pepper, chili pepper (which was my absolute favorite - the spiciness seemed to open your tongue up to the flavor of the chocolate, making it more intense) and coffee.

If you live in Buenos Aires, you should check it out - Kakao, Federico Lacroze 1660.
