Fancy-Schmancy Chocolate!
For the past couple months, I've been ogling the Vosges website, and occasionally sending links to baliset, chanda, or mcsassypants. Well, I finally got to chanda, and a few days ago, she ordered and kindly shared a box of the Collezione Italiano with Quiet and me. I've been fantasizing about these chocolates for over two months, and they exceeded my wildest expectations.
My favorites were the Finnochio and the Sale del Mare. The Finnochio was what every licorice candy aspires to be, and I have a weakness for burnt caramel. *sigh*
Hopefully, chanda will post the scans of the packaging soon. The instructions are nothing short of pornographic. (And quite funny, really.)
- Rooster: Italian taleggio cheese + organic walnuts + Tahitian vanilla beans + bittersweet dark chocolate
- Olio d'oliva: extra virgin olive oil + white chocolate + dried Kalamata olives
- Balsamico: 10 year old balsamic vinegar + dark chocolate + roasted Sicilian hazelnuts
- Sale del Mare: Sicilian sea salt + milk chocolate + burnt sugar caramel + pine nut
- Finnochio: Wild Tuscan fennel pollen + dark chocolate + floral anise
