Andrea Slitti Chocolatier: Tuscany, ITALY

This is Slitti's embarkation point for the "dark side" of chocolate, the line where most chocolate makers are forced to stop. The richness of the cocoa expresses itself fully in this proprietary blend of beans with the sugar playing a support role. These Slitti chocolate bars are stellar alone - one square makes a very satisfying after-dinner treat. (Okay, maybe two.) They're also a wonderful accompaniment to a rich cup of coffee. Perhaps one of the finest super dark chocolates.

 

... the newsletter.  Sometimes I look at it & think it’s a little lengthy and I don’t have time to read it but I usually do.  Once I start reading, I can’t stop.  It’s well written, fun to read, and almost every time I find an item or 2 I need/want or a receipt.
