ISO: ISO: For those who wanted a report out from DH's La Maison Du Chocolate goodies...

[deb-in-mi]

DH's b-day package from La Maison Du Chocolate arrived yesterday - and this was one of the boxes inside. The Tamaco gift box contains little (maybe 1 inch square), very thin, chocolate pieces (wafers?). Six of these pieces per flavor. Jerry tried two and he was amazed that he could detect the subtle difference between the pieces. Oh...did I mention that he LOVED them.(At over $2 a piece he'd sure better

Although when I asked him to describe the difference I just got a blank stare And then "I don't know. But they sure are good!"

As I mentioned before - LMDC is our all-time favourite chocolate indulgance.

Tamanaco Gift Box

Elegant box containing a variety of five pure ganache made with cocoa beans from different origins:

- Maracatou: dark chocolate ganache fruity and pleasantly lingering on the palate.

- Moroni: dark chocolate ganache fruity and intense.

- Acarigua: dark chocolate ganache delicate with a nice finish.

- Soledad: dark chocolate ganache intense yet delicate and refined.

- Malambé: milk chocolate ganache with hints of caramel.
