Honest Chocolate bonbons are dark and intense with a soft, smooth chocolaty centre. The bonbons are made with raw (unroasted) organic cacao (full of antioxidants) and are sugar and dairy-free. Instead of sugar we use organic agave nectar which has a low GI value and also adds a lovely warm flavour to the chocolate. It’s also 1.7 times sweeter than sugar so weI use less of it in each bonbon. The cacao (or unprocessed cocoa) is sourced from ethically managed farms in Ecuador, which ensures that the small-scale farmers are not exploited and get a fair price for their cacao beans. For the chocolate nerds, the cacao is of the Cacao Nacional Arriba de Aroma varietal.
Our bonbons are made from the following ingredients:
♥ Raw organic cacao
♥ Organic Blue Agave nectar
♥ Organic virgin coconut oil (cold pressed)
♥ Organic vanilla pods
And being totally organic they are GM-free and
free from potentially harmful pesticides. They are also sugar-free and suitable for diabetics.
The bonbons consist of a harder outer layer (called a couverture) and a soft chocolate filling. The couverture is prepared by tempering the chocolate by hand on a smooth granite slab - the traditional way. This courverture forms the outer layer of the bonbon into which the soft filling is piped for moulded bonbons, and into which the filling is dipped for dipped bonbons.
Chocolate is best eaten at room temperature. If you refrigerate the bonbons make sure to let them reach room temp in their box before you devour them. If you eat them straight out of the fridge you won’t experience the complex flavours and textures of the chocolate.
