Fossa x Chocoladeverkopers – Garlic Focaccia

Description

How better to celebrate our 10th anniversary at the Chocoladeverkopers than with chocolate. Well: with a chocolate specially made for and with us, with a unique taste, and inspiration from our bike trips. A chocolate with which we celebrate the adventure. The adventure of us as Chocoladeverkopers, the adventure of our bike trips, and certainly also: an adventurous taste.

And so we end up with this chocolate: a dark milk chocolate with Garlic Focaccia (!). Masterfully made by Fossa, the bean to bar chocolate makers from Singapore. And we can hardly believe it even though we have the chocolate here in front of us, made especially for our 10th anniversary.

Let’s first let Fossa speak for itself:

“A special bar to celebrate Chocoladeverkopers’ decade of excellence in curating and sharing the beauty of craft chocolate. “Cycling through Europe brings us closer to nature’s wonders, but some treasures are found in local bakeries” say founders Paul and Emma. One such find is Forno Becagli Borgognissanti in Florence, where locals line up to buy the best focaccia they’ve ever tasted.

This dark milk chocolate made with earthy Ecuadorian Hacienda Limon cacao and componens of garlic focaccia is a memoir to the memory”

Taste notes described by Fossa: Warm earthy scent with garlic and rosemary and a rustic texture.

When we started with an idea to celebrate our anniversary last year, we quickly took the plunge and wrote to Fossa. For us, they are like no other great, progressive and unique in how they know how to combine chocolate with beautiful flavor additions. Whether it’s about beautiful teas that we had partly never heard of (from Liu Bao via Drifting Snowflakes Jasmine to Duck Shit Dancong) to chocolates that find their inspiration in satay sauce (!), combinations with drinks (from Sakè to Bowmore whisky) and so much more.

That’s how we started discussing, and the idea quickly came to make it really adventurous. To explore the boundaries of what is possible. And to celebrate the adventurous in doing so. Discovering new exciting flavours – something we have experienced several times at Fossa, we have discovered flavours with them that we really did not know yet. But also the adventure that we enjoy so much every year (in principle twice), our cycling trips, in addition to the chocolate. That’s how we ended up with one of the tastiest things we have ever tasted on our cycling trips, the focaccia in a small bakery in Florence. That was the starting point, and so it happened: Fossa got to work with that moment of ours, that we were standing there in that bakery and tasting something that we found so incredibly delicious. And they managed to capture that moment amazingly well in chocolate.

You can experience for yourself how that tastes. We hope that you want to celebrate our anniversary with us, and that you want to take the plunge. Because let’s face it: this is of course a bar that you really have to put on your adventurous hat for. Open yourself up to it. Be amazed. Take part in our experience with garlic foccacia, there in sunny Florence. Celebrate with us that there is so much special chocolate. That the world can be beautiful. Taste in small pieces, let yourself be overwhelmed. Go on an adventure with us.
