Nowadays, chocolate is no longer just chocolate. It is increasingly common to find combinations that would have seemed strange a few years ago, but are now trending among lovers of sweet (and savory) treats. Well-known brands such as Lindt and other chocolate makers have embarked on an experiment, creating flavor combinations that make every bite a surprise.
This is one of the most classic combinations, but it remains a luxury. The touch of liquor, whether whiskey, rum, or fruit liqueur, gives chocolate an incredible depth of flavor, especially when it comes to dark chocolate. It's perfect for treating yourself on special occasions or as an elegant gift.
It may sound strange, but salt and chocolate make a spectacular combination. A small touch of sea salt on a chocolate bar (dark or milk) intensifies the flavor of the cocoa and creates a contrast that surprises the palate. It is increasingly common to see "gourmet" chocolates with this salty touch, and once you try it, it's hard to go back.
Chocolate and fruit combinations have always been a classic, but now they go beyond chocolate with strawberry or banana. The most popular flavors are citrus fruits such as orange or raspberry, which complement the sweetness of chocolate with their tartness, or chocolate with mint. There are also chocolates with dried fruits such as cranberries or mango, which offer a different texture. These options are ideal for those looking for a refreshing and less cloying flavor.
This is the option for those who enjoy sweetness at its finest. Caramel adds extra creaminess and sweetness that makes it hard to stop eating. Add a touch of salt, like the trendy salted caramel, and the experience is taken to the next level. This combination is irresistible, especially if the caramel is soft and slightly runny in the center.
At Let's Chocolaat, we have opted for combinations such as drinking chocolate with hazelnuts, white drinking chocolate with red berries, and our pack of gianduja or dark hazelnut chocolates.
