While cheese may seem to be a more natural pairing with pinot noir, many people might think that chocolate pairs with pinot noir as well. We find many winery tasting...
Do you love ice cream? I do. I was raised in a household with a self-proclaimed "ice cream-aholic." As a child we would make ice cream in the summer but it never lasted for very long in the freezer. My favorite flavors have always been mint chip, strawberry and coffee but I tended to stay away from the "boring" chocolate and vanilla.
Well, chocolate and vanilla ice cream are no longer "boring" with Choctal single-origin ice creams sourced from around the world. This is the same concept of single-origin that has been applied to coffees and chocolate bars. Choctal focuses chocolate and vanilla using cacao beans and vanilla beans from different growing regions. The beans grown in one particular area or region have distinctly different characteristics due to the soil, micro-climate, seasonal growing conditions and processing.
