Magic of the taste

Chocolate and wine

Dark chocolates with a distinct taste and is well suited for a sweet Marsala wine or Porto – both Tawny and Ruby.
The following wines are well-suited to chocolates with a high cocoa content:

Cabernet Sauvignon, enjoy this classic from Medoc,
Australian Shiraz with a good cigar emphasizes the peppery character of this variety,
Zinfandel or its progenitor – Primitivo from Pugli.
Another wonderful combination is dark chocolate with a sweet Sauternes. This will bring out the fine acidity of the wine, which is difficult to taste without the contrast of dark chocolate.

Magic of the taste

Chocolate and coffee

Chocolate and coffee is another winning combination. Just think of Arabic coffee, which tastes like both delicious chocolate and pralines! But we don’t suggest you only have one as coffee and chocolate are two unique flavors that most gourmets could not live without. This enticing combination blends the taste of aromatic, bitter coffee and real chocolate, that melts in your mouth. The pair is poetry in taste that is hard to describe so perhaps it should just be enjoyed.

Chocolate, like coffee, is a stimulant containing theobromine, a natural substance derived from cocoa beans. Chocolate, when combined with coffee creates a remarkably delicious and energizing drink.
