Christmas Gift Box — The Dark Selection

Regulärer Preis $75.00 USD
Verkaufspreis $75.00 USD Regulärer Preis

A Christmas dark chocolate gift box with four single-origin craft bars, each an International Chocolate Awards winner: two plain dark bars, one with cacao nibs and one made with rye whiskey. Wrapped in reusable linen, with a free gift note and no pricing in the box. Ships from Canada to the United States, across Canada and to more than fifty countries. Contains alcohol.

Dark chocolate, chosen for range rather than intensity.

Every bar in this box is dark, and no two taste alike. That's the point of it. One opens with berries and cream, another with citrus and honey, a third adds the crunch of cacao nibs, and the last brings the warmth of rye whiskey. Put them side by side and the differences stop being an abstraction.

Who it's for

  • Someone who already buys good chocolate and has run out of options locally
  • A whisky drinker who also likes dark chocolate
  • Someone who says they don't like dark chocolate, and has usually only met the industrial kind
  • A client, colleague or host, when you want a Christmas gift that feels considered
  • Not for anyone avoiding alcohol: see The Dark Laureates instead

How to taste it

Start with the two plain bars, then the nibs, and keep the whiskey bar for last. Break a piece rather than biting it, let it melt, and leave a gap between bars. Most of what you're tasting arrives in the finish, after the chocolate has gone.

The wrap

Furoshiki is the Japanese tradition of wrapping gifts in cloth. It's meant to be untied and kept, as a scarf, a napkin, or the next gift's wrapping.

Ingredients and dietary

All four bars are vegan and dairy-free by recipe. The Goodnow Farms bar contains rye whiskey, so this box isn't suitable for anyone avoiding alcohol. That bar may also contain traces of peanuts and tree nuts.

Storage: keep below 18 °C, away from light and strong odours.
