Domori- are they bean to bar?

Posted in: Tasting Notes

Masur, sorry, could you please tell how did you check that? Because they write it on their website?Btw, bean-to-bar making does not necessarily give you a waiver for misleading marketing, and does not provide 100% safety about you producing good chocolate. However Domori produces some excellent chocolates, in their case I remain suspicious. But wouldn't you mind eating a good shawarma if I told you it is made of the best swamp camel meat? Similarly I keep buying some Domori bars because they are damn good.

Where to Buy Other Stuff Related to Chocolate

Posted in: Classifieds F/S or Wanted

Maybe cocoa beans are related stuff...I am searching hard to find small producers no matter where in the world who'd sell in small quantities. A particular place is Chiapas, but any Ecuadorian Nacional or Brazilian source of Criollo would be wonderful. (I am not mistaken, I have tasted it but could not buy: yes, there definitely is Criollo grown in Brazil.) I'd be grateful for any tip?

What are your favorite adult beverages to pair with chocolates?

Prosecco is really nice, I tried some Lambrusco too but it didn't work out. Some sherry-like dry white wines, for me went well with Madagascan chocolates. As to hot chocolate, which I usually prepare from Amedei Toscano Black 70 and whole milk (in the US, half-half is not bad neither) I add just a tiny drop of Matusalem 40 years old rum. It is a punch.
