Pairings

The most popular and effective pairing for chocolate would be coffee. Thanks to the acidity and similar flavor profile, chocolate and coffee are two things that were literally meant to be together. But did you know that it is just as easy to pair wine with chocolate? Wine can easily be overpowered by the intensity of chocolate, so it’s important that you choose the right wine for the type of chocolate you are sampling. Merlot and Pinot Noir tend to pair well with milk chocolate, thanks to its silky, milky texture. Sherry and Port are far stronger on the palate so will pair well with dark chocolate, which is already quite intense. Rosé and Moscato pair excellently with white or blonde chocolate thanks to their toned-down flavors and sultry sweetness.

  • Keep the chocolates in their original packaging until ready to enjoy.
  • Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
  • Do not refrigerate the chocolates, as this can cause condensation to form on the surface of the chocolate, damaging the texture and flavor.

  • If possible, store the chocolates in a chocolate box or other container that allows for proper air circulation.
