With this bar I attempt to study the uniquely Indian culinary tradition of ‘Fruit and Nut’ chocolate. I attempt to break the concept down, and to streamline it into the elegant pairing of a single beautiful chocolate, with a single perfectly roasted nut and a single beautifully preserved fruit.
And this is how I arrived at Pistache: Dominican Chocolate + Roasted Pistachio + incredibly orange sweet Apricots.

SAVOR: This fine coverture chocolate is best enjoyed slowly. Allow the chocolate to warm slightly on the palette before chewing. This releases the chocolates subtle aromas and complexities.
STORE: The chocolate is best stored either in a wine cellar fridge (16-18c 60%RH) or in the warmest part of a home fridge (top shelf on the door side). It is best enjoyed 6 months from the date of production found at the back of the box.Once opened, keep away from strong scents, high humidity and direct sunlight.
NOTE: Temperature fluctuations may cause melting or an appearance of a whitish fat bloom on the bar. Once cooled chocolate taste and texture is unaffected, and is safe for consumption.
