Chocolate Pairings

Chocolate Pleasures >  CHOCOLATE PAIRINGS

Pairing dark chocolate and wine, dark chocolate and coffee, dark chocolate and teas or dark chocolate and liquors is an art. It requires proper conditions and stunning quality of raw ingredients.  

At HNINA, our universe is comprised of inspirations and emotions that are derived from simple yet pure aromatic associations. Each one of them reflects a smell, a taste, a texture from our childhood or other life experience that makes us feel good. Mine are coming from the delicious smell of pastries made with sprouted dried nuts and raw honey along with … delicious dark chocolate.<

Our raw dark chocolate will bring you back to those fond memories.

The pairings that we are proposing are based on the following principles:

Combining the flavors of our raw dark chocolate truffles with some of our favorite drinks.

Flavors refer to aromas coming from natural compounds such as vanilla which your brain registers as a scent when you eat. It is more specifically a combination of taste plus smell or "retronasal olfaction". This feeling is subjective to each person.

Trying to find the perfect taste or "biochemistry" for our palate.

Taste refers to our taste buds and is sensed by sweet, salty, bitter, sour, fat and umami (earthy like mushrooms). It is quantifiable.
