Winter Delights Food & Wine Festival

The winter sun was shining beautifully, the jazz band was playing and (importantly) the outdoor heaters were keeping us toasty as Cocoa Kiss joined a group of fantastic food and wine businesses sharing their delicious wares at the inagural Winter Delights Food & Wine Festival at Rippon Lea Estate.

A stunning day, location and atmosphere - and of course the free samples went down rather well too! Including one ten year old who challeneged me on how dark I could go - he looked very satisfied with Michel Cluizel Grand Noir 85%.  I wish I had some Michel Cluizel 99% on me for his young palate to sample.

But it wasn't just about the samples, it was great to have so many people engaged with chocolate - the history, production and quality as person after person lingered to chat, learn and share.  This is what I love about my business!

The most popular chocolates sold on the day:

• Valrhona Jivara 40%
• Michel Cluizel Concepcion 66%
• Valrhona Guanaja 70%
• Amedei Jamaica 70%.

Oh, and then of course there is the wickedly mooring gianduja that more than a few found hard to pass up, including myself and my two helpers.  (Coming to the website very shortly.)
