Chocolat Moderne Chocolates
Delightful avant-garde flavors from a modern chocolatierAs its name implies, Chocolate Moderne creates chocolates with modern, avant-garde flavors. Founder Joan Coukos switched careers from banking to making chocolates after being inspired on a trip to Brussels, and now conjures up award-winning delights with non-traditional flavors in her laboratory-cum-store in Chelsea. Some of the bonbons and bars we are enamored with include:
Les Nymphes: A silky truffle with lychee pâte de fruit layered over lychee ganache
La Dolce Grapefruit: One of their award-winning signature flavors, a perfect match of the tartness of fresh grapefruit and the sweet creaminess of caramel
Persimmon-Peach: Caramel with organic Fuyu persimmons and white peaches
Shiso-Lime: Dark ganache infused with shiso leaf (Japanese mint) and lime
Caramel Caresse: A luscious soft caramel with Poire Williams Pear and Eau de Vie
Solbeso Mi Mucho Bar: Filled with caramel blended with sea salt, unsweetened chocolate and Solbeso®, the first spirit to be distilled from the pulp of cacao
Bazar Bar: Dark chocolate bar filled with freshly made almond marzipan blended with creamy white chocolate ganache
There are many more flavors, collected in assortment boxes or available individually at their store, certainly enough to make any chocoholic giddy with delight.
