Our Chocolatier
NEW! CHOCOLATE FONDUE
It has taken us a while to find the perfect recipe for fondue but we are excited to announce we’ve finally nailed it! Chef Julian Rose, our Master Chocolatier, tested recipe upon recipe for chocolate fondue until he found the ideal combination of chocolate and milk. Once we finalized the recipe, the real work was ahead of us to find the perfect accompaniments that would bring out the nuanced flavor profiles of the chocolate itself. We searched high and low to find the right fondue pot and serving pieces to complete the experience.
Served exclusively in our cafés, our fondue is a decadent experience. Our dippers range from house-made artisan marshmallows to classic pretzels to shortbread cookies. Made with your choice of one of our four single origin chocolates, your fondue is made to order right in the café for $16 using our Venezuelan or Dominican Republic chocolates or $20 using our Fortunato No.4 chocolate.
Choose from the following chocolates:
68% Fortunato No. 4 Dark Chocolate: Made from Pure Nacional cacao, the newly released chocolate reintroduces the long-deprived world to rare and complex flavors of fruit, flora, nut and coffee. Pure Nacional was among the most coveted varieties of cacao in the 1800s, and its resurgence is a delight to chocolate lovers worldwide. Fortunato No. 4 is one of the finest expressions of Pure Nacional, delivering a special combination of complex, lingering and memorable flavors.
74% Venezuelan Dark Chocolate: An amazingly bold chocolate with 74 percent cacao content for real dark chocolate lovers. With a very complex floral and ripe fruit “nose” this pure Venezuelan chocolate has top notes of ripe raspberries, dried figs, prunes and black currant. Middle notes consist of tobacco and citrus, slightly acidic and astringent with a long finish.
72% Dominican Republic Dark Chocolate: Containing 72 percent cacao, this chocolate has intense pure origin dark chocolate from one of the greatest cocoa regions in the world. The chocolate is a light reddish color, with flavor rich in character featuring top notes of rare cocoa beans, orange zest and citrusy accents. Middle notes include robust red wine with dried prunes and blackberries, rounded out with a complex floral finish.
39% Venezuelan Milk Chocolate: This chocolate has low sweetness and full chocolate flavor. The chocolate features top notes of artfully roasted cocoa beans and the slight acidity of lemon zest. Middle notes include dried prunes, full grain leather and butter cookies with a delicate roasted nutty finish.
