We are all familiar with the common chocolate brands like Cadbury, Godiva, Lindt, etc. Nonetheless, are you satisfied with them? The endless desire and hunger for the spectacular chocolate seem to be impossible to erase, however the decadent of Valrhona’s chocolate can absolutely make my day (perhaps yours as well). I was flattered to receive a box of Valrhona X Christian Lacroix Chocolate Crus around Christmas, four selections of simple yet delicious chocolate crus in one box. A little background of Valrhona, a historical French chocolate brand, was established since 1922. The delicate creation and production can ensure the high quality for every chocolate, hence they becomes the supplier for multi grand and luxury restaurant, such as The Mira, Peninsula, etc. It cannot be found at most of the international supermarket like CitySuper or Marketplace, and Great Food Hall at Pacific Place is the only location where it can be found. Back to the crus gift box, the eye-catching box was designed by the famous fashion designer, Christian Lacroix. It made use of the elegant and royal patterns, which make the gift box look simple and glamorous. There are four gift boxes for different types of chocolate, this sharp pink one is referring to the dark and milk chocolates. Each gift box includes 16 pieces of four flavored chocolate, Cappuccino, Salted Caramel, Grand Cru Tanvariva and Grand Cru Guanaja. People who fancy in bittersweet or even dark chocolate, would totally enjoy and appreciated them. The creamy fillings coated with the dark chocolate, it can balance the sweetness. My favourite is the Salted Caramel, cuz after all girls are more into the sweet thing lol.

每次同烘焙店买材料，朱古力一定会选Valrhona，却不知原来这来自法国的品牌，除了甜品制作用的朱古力，还有直接品尝的朱古力，更重要的是，零售店已登陆香港。情人节收到Valrhona，既惊又喜。为了送我一盒最好的朱古力，做足功课，这夜摇身一变，成了专家，向我解释不同的浓度，不同的味道，口里没说甚么，心里其实感动不已。男友叮嘱，一定要写食评。听著他形容，店员如何热情地介绍各式各样的朱古力，知识丰富之外，更散发著对朱古力的无比热爱，甚至感染到他，听得我也想亲自拜会。除了介绍，店员亦慷慨地给他试食，务求选对最适合自己的朱古力。先是自选的精品朱古力，比包装朱古力，会甜一点。简单却浪漫的设计。有33%－85%的选择。选了3款，细心地预了妈妈的份儿。85%的Grand Cru Abinao，70%的Sensation Palet Or和66%的Fraicheur Truffe Caraibe。头两款硬脆的外壳，包著浓滑的ganache。第一颗较稠，口感较强，虽是85%，但仍算甜。最后一款则是黑朱古力粉，为带奶香的ganache添上一层苦涩，既有层次，又降低甜度。Angelina的热朱古力，虽然够稠，却甜个半死。男友于是自制热朱古力，把可可粉和牛奶逐少混和，随个人喜好加糖。可可味很香浓，苦涩而不带酸。手里拿著暖笠笠的杯子，满口朱古力的一刻，觉得自己是世界上最幸福的女人。口感不够滑，有空再研究如何冲出完美的热朱古力。最后，是一盒由33%到85%，8种浓度的朱古力，每款4块。一口气试匀8款，看似疯狂，却能真正体会到浓度的渐变，甚至同一浓度，也可有不同的味道。喜欢黑朱古力的我，却对64% Noir Manjari一试钟情。在口中慢慢融化，浓郁的味道，带点黏的口感，感觉很强。33% Lait Tanariva 奶味重得像Kinder。66% Noir Caraibe众款中口感最幼滑。85% Noir Abinao涩中带甜，内心一片复杂。70% Noir Guanaja最平衡。试完恍如经历了一个有高有低，有起有跌的旅程。虽然你大都选了黑朱古力，但味蕾的理智已被心里的甜丝丝盖过。情人节快乐。

屋企间唔使都会有些好东西放在桌上，多是阿妹的贡献。这天，有Valrhona的朱古力豆及朱古力奶，果然很有圣诞气氛。朱古力豆不是甜得要命的那种，但味道香醇，口感爽脆，美味可口。另日，又煲了朱古力奶来喝，是浓得化不开的，而且我即煲即饮，热腾腾的，自然正斗。圣诞期间，屋企还有很多好东西，另文介绍。
