Wine and Chocolate Pairings

Wine and Chocolate Pairings Matching Flavor Nuances Wine and chocolate paired together? They're natural companions. Both have complex flavors and notes, both have similar components and nuances in common. A wine and chocolate pairing follows the same kind of process as a wine or chocolate tasting, except you taste both together. Examine the attributes of the chocolate, and follow the same steps as you would in a classic chocolate tasting. That includes noting the aroma, listening for the snap when you break it and checking the shine and glossiness. Before tasting it, though, take the same notice of the wine.

Welcome to the Dark Side of the Miami Chocolate Festival at Fairchild Tropical Garden

--> It’s hard to believe after all the preparation, production and, expectations, the Fairchild Tropical Garden Chocolate Festival is over.

"…And the hard work paid off"

I have to start this new article of our blog with two words "Thank You" and whoever is reading this now and have met Cao Chocolates team know we mean every single word and our gratitude is infinite to all clients, family, friends and supporters. About six weeks ago we opened the doors of our first Chocolate Atelier in a two days celebration round. The first celebration was opening our doors and celebrating my birthday the same day Oct 15, 2012 and then one day later we celebrated our Grand opening in company of close friends and family also celebrating the 8th year anniversary we moved from Venezuela and became immigrants working towards the American dream . Every single morning I walk into my chocolate paradise where I have no limitations to creativity and dare to experiment with any ingredient I want or my clients want. The greatest feeling is to understand that part of my job description (if I can call this amazing dream a job) is to make someone...
