Descrizione

Tavoletta Fondente – Prodotta da To’ak

Nose: A fresh herbal tone with rich chocolatey notes enlivened by floral spice.

Finish: Smooth buttery texture, floral shades of pepper with hints of wood and coffee, long alluring finish.

The world’s most celebrated pepper, from the Cambodian province of Kampot, meets the world’s most luxurious dark chocolate, from To’ak in Ecuador—aged for three years. A bold and floral chocolate with an artful touch of spice. Ideal for pairing with cheese, tequila, or rye whisky. Sample of Kampot pepper is included.

This is a good edition to pair with añejo tequila–Casamigos actually works better than most other tequilas for reasons we’re still trying to figure out. Rye whisky is another spirit that is well-suited to this edition, although a broad range of whiskies also work very well. With cheese, don’t worry about finding a spicy cheese. Instead, go with something like Gruyère, Compté, aged Gouda, or Pyrenees sheep cheese, and let the chocolate itself bring its own spice to the pairing.
