{"product_id":"christmas-chocolate-gift-box-the-dark-selection","title":"Christmas Gift Box — The Dark Selection","description":"\u003cp\u003eDark chocolate, chosen for range rather than intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bar in this box is dark, and no two taste alike. That's the point of it. Cacao from one origin can arrive tasting of red fruit and cacao from another of tobacco and dried figs, at the same percentage, made by people working to the same standard. Put them next to each other and the differences stop being an abstraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe selection is made from what's on our shelves the week your box is packed, which is how a curated range works when the makers are small and the harvests are annual. What doesn't change is the standard: nothing goes in that we wouldn't put in front of a judge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe person who already buys good chocolate and has run out of road with what's available locally. Also the person who says they don't like dark chocolate, who has usually only met the industrial kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to taste it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with the lowest percentage and work up. Break a piece rather than biting it, let it melt, and leave a gap between bars. Most of what you're tasting arrives in the finish, after the chocolate has gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGiving it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePacked with a gift note, included free — shipped with no pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable for pre-order, delivered from November 1.
