No problem Hank! I'm just surprised that I remembered their chocolates...I'm a big fan of organic chocolate, so I know that their 60% organic was one of the best semi-sweets I've had. I'm looking at Chefshop right now and they have it! It's called "Agostoni Organic 60% San Primo"...you just reminded me that I made a mental note to purchase some semi-sweet chocolate for the holidays!
I was able to try their chocolate at the Summer Fancy Food show. From what I can remember, I was surprised by the quality of their chocolate. I believe their Organic white chocolate blew me away. I'm more of a dark chocolate lover, so I was surprised that I actually liked their white! Their hazelnut chocolate was also amazing. The sales representative had said that chefshop.com carries their line...I hope that helps!
I have been seeing a lot of chocolate bars with the Fair Trade certification lately. I might be a bit cynical, but it seems like certifications, like the Fair Trade certification, is more of a marketinggimmick. It would be great if the chocolate bar companies actually show the "fruits of their labor" by publicizing what are actually happening at their "fair trade" farms. I guess I'm just not supportive of organizations that act like they are doing good in the world, when only a small percentage of their bars are considered Fair Trade.
