brynGodiva Chocoiste – Milk Chocolate Whole Cashews

By Bryn Kirk on September 4, 2009 | Comments (0)

Godiva has a line of chocolates that, according to their website, are more decadent and more portable.  They call it ChocoisteTM.

I recently tried their Milk Chocolate Whole Cashews and I must say I enjoyed them very much!  My chocolate preference is dark, but I do enjoy a milk once in a while.  The reason I enjoyed this particular milk chocolate and cashew combination is the way the milk chocolate pulls out the bold, buttery, and salty flavor notes from the nuts and enhances them.

The aftertaste is a lingering buttery note which I prefer over a lingering “milky” note that so many other chocolate-covered nuts offer.

It is rare that I enjoy a chocolate-coated tree nut.  I have been disappointed too many times – not because of the chocolate, but because of the nuts.  I am blessed and cursed with the gift of “super-taster.”  In the flavor sensory world that means I am extremely sensitive to flavors in general, but most particularly to “off” flavors.  Even the tinniest hint of oxidation, or rancidity, makes me scrunch my nose in disgust.

I was not disappointed this time.

In fact, I have to be careful not to eat the entire bag in one sitting.  Darn.

Another reason I like this product is that when I share them at work, I am instantly popular among my co-workers.  Today I am reaping the rewards of a good treat.
