Chocolate Decadence
I am not the world’s greatest sweet tooth, and I would be more drawn to a cheese platter than a selection of sweet petit fours. In saying that I am not averse to a small amount of chocolate on occasion. However the kind of chocolate that I like is very good quality dark, bitter chocolate with a high concentration of cacao, like these Chocolate Amatller, seventy percent cacao, Sal de Mar (with sea salt) chocolate leaves. I bought these from a gourmet chocolatier on a recent country weekend away, however I bought it more for the beautifully stylised Art Deco design tin than what was in it, and I still haven’t had a desire to eat so much as one leaf yet.
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" on the 18th of March is "chocomania", so it’s all about chocolate. Chocolate Amatller, seventy percent cacao, Sal de Mar (with sea salt) chocolate leaves were a late choice for me after I tried several other examples of chocolate, but was not happy with the results. The backdrop of this photo is high quality paper printed with one of English Arts and Crafts artist, William Morris’ most popular patterns, “Strawberry Thief”, created in 1883. This image encapsulates my relationship with chocolate: a small amount on occasion, beautifully presented. I hope you like my choice of image for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile.
Chocolate Amatller was founded in 1797 in El Born, in the heart of Barcelona, by Gabriel Amatller and is today one of the oldest active chocolate brands in Europe. For almost two hundred and twenty five years, Chocolate Amatller has preserved its heritage through the generations and has reflected its modernist origins in its wide range of products.
