Thanks for visiting and I guess you could see that I love o teach. Visit Chocolates & Figs often or even better, subscribe to my newsletter, because I will be running more classes in 2012 in chocolate tasting (I mean really tasting), working with chocolate (we do create some fun products in these classes) and the business of chocolate.

HAVE A GREAT 2012

Thanks for visiting, but please do not go into chocolate, unless you want to melt it, mix it with whole milk and fill up your bath tub with it – then DIVE.

I forgot to add that you should setup your MP3 with the music you like and place it between two candles scented with chocolate. Then close your eyes and think that you are ascending to chocolate heaven.

That sounds good?

Aside from that a chocolate shop is not a bad idea if you like chocolate; you’ll have lots of friends

I would love to. It is Danville Chocolates and their website is http://www.danvillechocolates.com/#!. I recently discovered the shop. They have a wonderful selection of chocolates. Thanks again for your article.

There is so much more to chocolate than what we think. It’s a fantastic ingredient. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I am delighted that you feel that way. That is the idea when one writes a detailed article like this. Could you keep me updated through my blog? If you like what you see and read, you maybe interested to subscribe to the newsletter, as well.

BTW my next post will review chocolate manufacturers around the world.

HAPPY NEW YEAR and BEST OF LUCK TO YOU

Thanks for your message and heartwarming comments. Interestingly, my answer is no. I used to attend the chocolate show in New York for years, but since I moved away I am unable to do it. Aside from that, my understanding is that the show is getting weaker. Is that true?

This is the season I write reviews of chocolate shops, manufacturers and products. I am in the process of preparing the post about the top manufacturers in the World.

Chocolate is such an “opinionated” product that once you found your favorite you should stay with it. But periodically, it is fun to try some new stuff. They came a long way.

Hope to see you visiting Chocolates and Figs often and perhaps you may want to subscribe to my newsletter

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Jayne Georgette

Thanks for visiting, reading and commenting. Maybe I should write an authorative book?

From now on, let me know when you are traveling, like “where to”; I would love to assist you in finding the best chocolate shops in the area. If I am not familiar with the place, I also have pretty good connections and network of “experts” that can help me out.

Please visit my blog often, because this is the season that I write about top chocolate shops, manufacturers and products.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Thanks for visiting and your message. Just memorize a few important lines and you can start to appear as a “professional snob”

Do you think only wine connoisseurs can act like “above all?”

I myself is amazed about the intricacies of this great product. Every day you can learn something new about it.

So enjoy and indulge in moderation

Thanks for your message and yes, please enjoy your dark chocolate daily. Everything in moderation is fine.

You may not use all the information, but you never know when you feel like to create your own chocolate mousse. It is quite easy and you can always send me a question about anything you are not sure of, at Chocolates & Figs.

Currently you have a report about the top chocolatier in the US on my blog. I do not write reviews and/or reports about anything that I do not personally evaluate.

If I work with any of the chocolatiers, they know in advance that I will report my honest opinion about their product, irrespective if it is positive or negative. I guard my reputation fiercely.

Do you want divulge the name of the chocolate shop next to you?

Thanks for your comment and good luck on your way! It is a great place to be.

This season and the upcoming Valentine’s Day are especially made to indulge.

You have given us a wealth of information on chocolate, which is wonderful. I do like a bit of dark chocolate each night, and I see from your information that it does have the health benefits. I also love a mocha on occasion and get a little chocolate that way. Your detailed information on making chocolate will be wonderful for anyone who is interested. I may not do that, but will cheat and go to the lovely chocolate shop that recently opened near where I live. Thanks for sharing. I feel much more informed about chocolate.
