Product Description
Twelve little poems of exquisite taste, to savour alone or appreciate with friends. Master chocolatier Cecelia Tessieri of Amedei has devised these six pairs of special, edible, flavourful jewels, taking the concept of pralines and chocolate tasting to entirely new levels. With novel cocoa processing techniques, the distinctive ingredients arise in the tasting experience, adding a dimension of mind and emotion, contemplation, openness, new experience and insight. Unconventional tastes for deep and thoughtful apprecation, designed to protract the pleasures of the palate. Giardino, the Garden, a green asylum of relaxation and contemplation, with touches of orange. Equilbrio, Balance, a sophisticated blend of Eastern ideas and the flavours of sweet milk and bitter ginseng. Scintille, the Sparks, with a myriad of tiny flashes of flavour from sparkling liquorice, awakening the taste buds. Cacao, or Cocoa, involving the intense but ingeniously tamed flavour of dark Chuao, both as coating and mousse, evoking red fruits and plums. Radici, the Roots, draws one down into the earth as it melts in the mouth, only to surprise the palate with gorgeous rhubarb. Chicchi, the Beans, combines and contrasts two twins of different mothers to offer firmness and softness, crunch and velvet: the beans of cocoa and of coffee.
