Experiences in the world of fine chocolate
It’s funny how things can work out. I’ve reviewed this chocolate a week ago, did the photography, the tasting session and sat down to write my new article. All I needed to do was to publish it on my blog. But due to a very busy family life, I didn’t get around to it before […]

Somehow the origin/artisan chocolate world is filled with people who are so thrilled by the wonderful products they make or discover, they want to share this knowledge with as many people who will appreciate it! A while ago, I was contacted by Adrienne from the United States. […]
Continue ReadingNo. You don’t need to worry! You are not seeing double, this is just the second part of a double review about the first two samples of Chocolate Naive’s dark origin bars I received.
