Chocolate Tasting
Is anyone interested in starting a online chocolate tasting club? We
could agree on chocolates to try and then discuss them. Thoughts, questions, comments. |

It's no good me nominating something that isn't available in your part of the world, and vice versa. Christine |

Chocolate Tasting
I agree that poses a challenge. I'm in the US. The chocolates I was
thinking about are high end. That would makes them a little harder to find. But I know many of them are available in the major cities in the US and Europe. Also online as well. So I'm confident it won't be a problem in the US and Europe. As for the rest of the world, some research would be required. I know there is an online chocolate shop in South Africa. Where are you located? Old Mother Ashby wrote: > Chocolate Chocolate wrote: > > Is anyone interested in starting a online chocolate tasting club?

I can get hold of a good range of European chocs, and now Max Bremmer (Israeli) has set up shop here. You don't see American makes very often, and consequently you tend not to associate the USA with quality chocolate (although I had some delectable ones in Seattle, Frangos I think). I am not sure, though, how easy it would be for you to get hold of Australian chocs. Haigh's don't even have an outlet in Sydney, just Adelaide (where they are manufactured) and Melbourne so they probably don't export. The more boutique local makes would be even harder for you to source. Keep us posted, the general idea has a certain attraction :-) Christine |

This might work as I have generally found the high-end European
chocolates are still the best. Maybe we can focus on those. Do you know if you can find brands like. Amedei, Bonnat, Domori, Dolfin, El Rey, Michel Cluizel, Slitti, etc?

Look in the "Member Chocolate Reviews" and "Chocolate Bars" fora. Seventypercent also has a lot of good info and ships to several countries. -- Alex Rast (remove d., .7, not, and .NOSPAM to reply) |
