| |
| | | |
− | 0:01:20.120,0:01:32.360
| |
− | this lemon. Actually we won a .... gourmet medal in Paris, because I think it brings out

| + | '''Éka Chocolate'''<br> |
− | the flavor. It has the flavour of the chocolate from the Madagascar cacao. Then we try to do what we call

− | Fantasy, so you have still dark chocolate but with, you know, fantasy ingredients in there. So we have what
| |
| | | |
− | 0:01:55.040,0:02:03.760
| + | Website: [https://www.ekachocolate.com www.ekachocolate.com] |
− | we call Combava, so the Combava is a citrus fruit and it's like a lemon but not really.
| |
− | | |
− | 0:02:03.760,0:02:10.680
| |
− | Inside it's not really good but the outside is really really fresh and very fragrant. So we use the
| |
− | | |
− | 0:02:10.680,0:02:20.840
| |
− | essence from the zest to actually mix it with the chocolates and, yeah, we participated in
| |
− | | |
− | 0:02:20.840,0:02:30.920
| |
− | the Salon du Chocolat Paris and people really really loved this on the first day of the of the Salon
| |
− | | |
− | 0:02:30.920,0:02:41.320
| |
− | of four days. We finished all the Combava. And then we also have a 65% dark chocolate with Baobab fruits.
| |
− | | |
− | 0:02:41.320,0:02:48.480
| |
− | So we actually have a high percentage of
| |
− | the Baobab mixed in the chocolate to have more
| |
− | | |
− | 0:02:48.480,0:02:58.360
| |
− | acidic taste, so like a superfood chocolate. Then you know you have a cranberry. This is a the
| |
− | | |
− | 0:02:58.360,0:03:08.680
| |
− | marriage between the anglophone country and Madagascar. The cranberry is from America.
| |
− | | |
− | 0:03:08.680,0:03:16.965
| |
− | My husband is American and I'm Malagasy so this is kind of like the marriage of the taste from the two different countries.
| |
− | | |
− | 0:03:16.965,0:03:26.240
| |
− | Then we have, also, another Fantasy:
| |
− | Tangerine essence mixed in the chocolate and
| |
− | | |
− | 0:03:26.240,0:03:36.320
| |
− | then nibs of hazelnuts on the back of the tablet. And this is our last, well before last recipe.
| |
− | | |
− | 0:03:36.320,0:03:43.000
| |
− | So the flavor is mixed with ginger and then every single square of chocolate has a piece of
| |
− | | |
− | 0:03:43.000,0:03:53.040
| |
− | ginger and a piece and pineapple fruit, dried. No sugar added. No conservative. So we try to be sure in
| |
− | | |
− | 0:03:53.040,0:03:59.746
| |
− | the ingredients that we use to produce premium kind of chocolates.
| |
− | | |
− | 0:03:59.746,0:04:16.360
| |
− | And then we also make, to try to please the taste of everyone, we have this new product, so we make ganache. So the
| |
− | | |
− | 0:04:16.360,0:04:25.920
| |
− | ganache I make is actually in this coffreez (box) you have a ganache of coffee, a ganache of raspberry, a
| |
− | | |
− | 0:04:25.920,0:04:34.400
| |
− | ganache of lemon and ganache of passion fruit and some truffle. Yeah this is really
| |
− | | |
− | 0:04:34.400,0:04:41.520
| |
− | to have a bit of everything for people
| |
− | who cannot handle dark dark chocolate.
| |
− | | |
− | 0:04:41.520,0:04:50.440
| |
− | The pure ones. You know, to please
| |
− | everyone. Then, this one is my (favorite) so
| |
− | | |
− | 0:04:50.440,0:05:05.120
| |
− | I got really inspired by Maison du Chocolat in Lyon, in France. So that the Maison du Chocolat .... There was an artisan chocolatier I met.
| |
− | | |
− | 0:05:05.120,0:05:16.160
| |
− | His name is Dominic ... and he inspired me to do this. So, in fact, to make a really really thin
| |
− | | |
− | 0:05:16.160,0:05:25.560
| |
− | kind of chocolate. So these are
| |
− | actually different flavors inside of the box.
| |
− | | |
− | 0:05:25.560,0:05:34.720
| |
− | And then you know we got this very nice mold to make this nice textured napolitan and
| |
− | | |
− | 0:05:34.720,0:05:42.200
| |
− | then different flavors in them. And the nice thing about it is that it's really really thin so
| |
− | | |
− | 0:05:42.200,0:05:50.440
| |
− | the moment it sits on top of your tongue it melts and then the flavor you can taste right away.
| |
− | | |
− | 0:05:50.440,0:05:51.979
| |
− | So voilà.
| |
− | | |
− | 0:05:52.818,0:05:54.818
| |
− | Thank you.
