Agostoni chocolate

Actually we on The Chocolate Cult, are being sent samples to test and review.

We'll do that with the same care we take with all products we are sent. In this case we'll make baked goods and/or candies with them and report on the use and variety of the products.

Marketing and Promotion Advice

Posted in: Allow Me to Introduce Myself

I've had 63 chocolatiers and retailers send me their chocolate since I started The Chocolate Cult. We just hosted a contest to give away a hot chocolate maker last week in fact. While not many entered that contest (geographical limits on entering) we have a ton of hits. We get our biggest draw on Saturday for our "Sacraments". I'd be happy to talk to you more if you'd like to email me. We are booked on reviews until June currently but I'm happy to talk.

How Are You Making These Holidays Special with Chocolate?

Posted in: Tasting Notes

Our featured reviews for Christmas this year are insane. I put out our review calendar on November 1st on a few places and contacted a few people who had asked me about winter holidays months back, and in four days 9 of 16 dates were claimed. Now we are down to 3 dates right before Christmas and 2 before New Years.

We're tackling a wider range of products this year from drinks and food to soap and calendars all using or focused on chocolate.

While I'll make some chocolate treats during the year especially for our annual Christmas party, The Chocolate Cult's biggest holiday event has to be our Annual Halloween Treat Challenge which I hope every chocolatier considers joining. However we are limited in terms of how many chocolatiers we can highlight so I hope people contact us soon.
