Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a square melt gently on your palate to reveal its layered flavors—beginning with a subtle honeyed sweetness, followed by bright citrus, and finishing with almond undertones. Pair it with a lightly oaked Chardonnay or an amber-style beer to echo the bar’s warmth and complexity. For a non-alcoholic option, try a delicate chamomile tea that mirrors its floral and honey notes. For food pairings, enjoy alongside toasted almonds or marcona almonds—the nutty crunch enhances the almond finish beautifully.

Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and strong odors. Store at maximum
18 ° C in its original packaging

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.

To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.

On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
