With it's wheat-like hue it falls between the milk and white chocolates in colour, in taste it is closer to the later with a high note of elementary caramel. The relative obscurity of the blonde chocolate is mostly due to the difficulty of the production process: it takes a lot of skill and knowledge to caramelize the sugar involved without burning the added milk powder.

Pistachio from Bronte
Consumers with the finest taste all know that the best pistachio of the world comes from Sicily, from a town with 20 thousand inhabitants called Bronte, located near Mount Etna. The pistachio nuts from Bronte are quite special: they are harvested only in every second year. The kernels are rather large and elongated, with bright emerald-green colour and intense scent.
These ancient seeds are exported today as luxury ingredients from the orchards of Mount Etna to all around the globe. Nowadays the “green gold” of Bronte is not only present in confectionary shops, but also in the highest-quality culinary kitchens – thanks to a few excellent Sicilian chefs.
What makes this fruit so unique? First, pistachio from Bronte is neither roasted nor salted, unlike most types of Iranian or American pistachios that can be found in common stores. Second, today it is already widely acknowledged that the special “terroir” makes this type so exquisite. At the feet of Mount Etna, pistachio is grown on hillside terraces on a soil that is quite rich in silicon, which endows the nuts with an exceptional aroma. In addition, the climate of the cultivation area is also another reason behind its special taste: at 800 meters above sea level the warm days are usually followed by cool nights. Due to this fluctuation in temperature, the pistachio fruit looses its moisture content thus the aromatic tastes become more concentrated in the nuts. Pistachio from Bronte has a high sensitivity to temperature and light.
That’s why while being harvested, the nuts are treated with remarkable care: after being dried in the sun for 2-3 days, they are kept in cold storage rooms in their shells (and only if the customer requests it, they are cleaned from their shells, right before being sold). In this manner, the pistachio nuts can preserve their original quality for two years – up until the next harvest.

Grounded coffee beans from Ethiopia
The hand picked Ethiopian Yirga coffee beans are not called 'the diamonds of coffee' by accident: they carry in them at the same time the berry fruit flavours and lemony aromas which mixed with characteristic acids literally dominate the taste buds.
Black Hawaii salt
This black-coloured sea salt is produced on one of the tiny islands of Hawaii. In order to increase the mineral content of the salt, black lava stones are placed into the seawater-basins; this is how the peculiar deep black colour of the salt develops. What is it like to taste a chocolate generously sprinkled with fine sea salt?
Fantastic! At first bite, it’s the usual flavour melting in the mouth. Then, when you meet the first small grain of salt, its salty quality diffuses and finally melts into the taste of the chocolate. Its flavour is not so harsh—it will make you either deny it forever or fall in love with it instantly! If you take my advice, you give it a chance before you’d refuse it, so you can find out which way is yours.
Freeze-dried fruits
Freeze-drying (or lyophilisation) is a dehydration process during which the product that needs to be dried is frozen first, then, with the surrounding pressure reduced, very slowly heat is added in order to allow the frozen water in the material to “disappear”. More precisely, the ice is allowed to sublimate directly from the solid phase to the gas phase, avoiding the liquid phase.
There are two main advantages of freeze-drying compared to other traditional drying methods. First, no considerable amount of heat is used; therefore, heat doesn’t damage the valuable substances of the material. Vitamins don’t become dissolved, the product retains its colour and taste, and the fructose content doesn’t become destroyed either. Second, during the freeze-drying process there is no form of liquid water, in other words, no evaporation occurs. Therefore, valuable substances, such as the nutritional content, don’t leave the fruit with the evaporating water but remain entirely in the fruit.
Pecan
In their outside appearance pecans resemble walnuts, but their “inner” characteristics are different: they have a sweeter, more aromatic flavour. Pecan is considered an ideal food for it contains most of the substances that the human body requires. Putting pecans on the top of a chocolate bar may make it an even more ideal snack for you!

Sea salt with Tahitian vanilla
Bourbon vanilla-flavoured sea salt, when used properly, can trigger an ecstasy of the taste buds. We like it combined with caramel chocolate pastilles the most, salty caramel having been a favourite of ours for long. On top of such a strong base we may place any further toppings, we won’t be disappointed!
Sea salt with red wine
No surprise that salt with red wine is a French product! This exceptional salt comes from Ile de Ré, a tiny island off the West coast of France. And Bordeaux wine is probably well known enough, it doesn’t need to be introduced… Pairing up the premium products of these two regions, the result is an enthralling gastronomic delicacy: It is a must for you to try it with chocolate!
Genuine 23 carat edible gold crumbs
Since ancient times gold was utilised as money, and in a number of other different ways: the Egyptians thought it would make them immortal, the Native Americans mixed it in their food so they could float, and in the present we use it to make watches, jewelry and send it in space via the Voyager space probes.
After the Renaissance gold is making a comeback in the circles of top gastronomy in it's edible form all around the world - and on top of chocoMe chocolate bars.
A company in the picturesque Florence created a new artistic form for the edible gold that can be easily used to decorate sweets, food, or even drinks.
Though it won't make us immortal, or fly, but with it's beauty it can irradiate our everydays.
Almonds from Avola
The city of Avola in the southest reach of Sicily made a mark on the map of world gastronomy with it's exceptional almonds. The annual 2600 hours of sunshine, the seaside climate and the calcium rich soil results in a specially shaped almond with a truely unique flavour. These almond pieces are bigger, flatter and softer than the everyday kind with a sand colour and a high oil content.
Tonka bean
The wrinkly, black, elongated tonka bean is an incredibly rich source of fragrance and flavour: it brings to mind vanilla, cinnamon, clove and almond at the same time. Because of this complexity it is able to bring out a lot of different tones when paired with different chocolates: with dark chocolate it bears a highlight of cinnamon, it makes milk chocolate more fluffy and creamy, and makes oily nuts more characteristic leaving a long lasting flavour in the mouth.
Bergamot peel
Thanks to it’s characteristic fragrance the bergamot from Calabria is used mostly in the parfume industry, but this time we paired it’s fruity peel with a chocolate. The plant has a pleasantly citrus-like, fresh, slightly flowery smell, which forms an unforgettable pair with the Venezuelan chocolate speciality.
