Sulpice Sweet & Spicy Dark Chocolate
March 7, 2016
My tongue is on fire! But, what else would I expect with cayenne and cinnamon on the label of this "sweet & spicy" hand-painted artisan chocolate bar from Sulpice Chocolat?
As soon as I get the first taste of this exotic-looking chocolate bar, there’s a pleasant chocolate flavor with earthy, and nutty overtones.
Then the cinnamon floats in--lightly at first--but just when the heat of the cayenne hits the back of the throat, the cinnamon takes over!
The finish is overwhelmingly what I would describe as a cinnamon red-hots candy flavor.
Personally, I would prefer a burst of bold chocolatey notes at the end, but that’s just my preference. Nothing wrong with this chocolate bar, the intense cinnamon candy flavor just doesn't quite fit my personal tastes.
About Sulpice Chocolat
Sulpice Chocolat was founded by Chef Anne Shaeffer. It is a Chicago-based artisan chocolate company specializing in colored cocoa butter painted chocolate bars.
Their designs decorate each bar either a splatter style or marbleized pattern. They are quite beautiful!
Cocoa Butter Painting
Cocoa butter painting has been around for a long time, but was previously limited by color and availability. Today there are hundreds of colors and new textured brushes to make hand-painted chocolates absolutely amazing works of art.
Cocoa butter paints are highly pigmented so a little can go a long way.
But it's not easy... Colored cocoa butter can be tricky to work with because there you must understand the three states of cocoa butter -- too cold to work with, too hot to work with, and the narrow window of “just right” to work with!
Sulpice Chocolat knows that we eat with our eyes as well as our taste buds. They use their talents to not only craft tasty chocolate, but beautifully design and decorate them to make the complete experience a memorable one.
