Dessert Cioccolato Milan ™
Cioccolato Milan is another new powerhouse for those that like Malbec, a Cheeky Cab. Sauvignon for dessert, but don't like sweets. This "bull in a China shop" combo features FULL espresso notes that stand up to a velvety ganache lead by Venezuelan cacao.
Ocumare Venezuelan 65% Solid - For The Connoisseur Who Favours Purity
Pure Solid Venezuelan Plantation Criollo cacao in a solid square. Full of complexity yet simple in design. Long oaky finish and a great pairing for Cognac sipping or an evening of Pinotage / Amarone / Ripasso.
70% Aztec Chilli
70% Macchu Picchu cacao matched to Tanzanian Birds Eye Chilli.
The cacao complexity pairs nicely with the 10 second heat felt on the
tongue. Perfect ratio allows the warmth to quickly drop off, with the finish of the chocolate easing down. A new powerhouse profile for 2011.
65% Principe - Classic Raspberry
Perfect acidity and full fruit bite showcase our Classic Raspberry.
We balance the acidity of both cacao and raspberry to match perfectly.

60% Principe Cone - a 2011 sensation for pure cacao-philes.
Dessert Cone 60% represents a crossover dessert chocolate for those that traditionally have favoured milk over dark chocolate. Like dark Arabica coffee,
the shell has overtones of depth yet a slight hint of sweetness on the finish. A
must try.
Paillete Feuilletine - 65% Ecuador - NEW PROFILE 2011
For 2011, we have opened up the textural side with our chocolates. Medium depth in strength, but an etherially light crunch in the centre. A BONZO good experience.
Gianduja Hazelnut Swirl
No chocolatier goes without making a classic hazelnut. Ours is a blend of Italian Hazelnuts, and paired to Criollo cacao for a powerhouse combination. This is for the traditionalist who prefers Frangelico or Amaretto after dinner.
Dessert Size - 73% African Dark Paired with Cranberry Goat Cheese
This is the hot ticket for the season. We paired the commanding flavour profile of Sao Tome Dark with a goat cheese. The flavour profile suits palettes that like to finish a rich meal with a Malbec / Shiraz / Syrah. The chocolate can stand up to a cheeky wine yet have enough finish with the goat cheese for the perfect tapering down on the palette.
Amalfi Coast Limoncello - New Powerhouse Profile 2011
60% Venezuelan Cacao perfectly paired to Amalfi Coast produced Limoncello. A fine balance is needed to pair lemon to chocolate. We found a plantation in the Occumare that had the strength to tone down the Limoncello. Both togethermake a new powerhouse profile for 2011
65% Madagascar Dark w/ Chocolate Port
65% Madagascar dark cacao paired with velvety chocolate port liqueur. We added some Sao Tome dark cacao to the ganach to perfectly the balance of the flavour profile.
This chocolate is suited towards red meat, caramelized onions and a Cabernet Sauvignon with a full profile.
72% Venezuelan Dark paired with Okanagan Cabernet Sauvignon
72% Venezuelan dark chocolate paired with a velvety French Chambord. This chocolates structure suits Port, certain Malbec and Pinotage varieties.
