Our Newest Arrival!

No, nobody here had a baby; but I am proud to announce that we are now carrying the 70% "Sambirano" chocolate bar by Rogue Chocolatier!
These chocolate bars are hand made in small batches in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by Colin Gasko, who is fast becoming the "talk of the town" in the chocolate making industry. At only 23 years old, he sources and cleans, roasts, grinds, refines, conches, tempers, molds, and packages his chocolate by himself!

The "Sambirano" chocolate bar is single-origin, using a bean from the now famous Sambirano Valley in Madagascar. Citrus and raisin flavor notes abound in this chocolate, and has a complex yet very clean feel on the palate.

I am extremely happy to have this chocolate in our store and I encourage all of you to stop by and grab a bar to take home and enjoy!
