While chocolate is a distinctive and complex flavor on its own, pairing it with other foods and drinks creates an entirely unique tasting experience. Here, we've listed our favorite ways to enjoy the flavors of NEWTREE.
CHOCOLATE SAUCED
No pairing suggestion would be complete without a section on pairing chocolate with wines and spirits.
For these pairings, start by taking a small bite of the chocolate and allowing it to melt on your tongue (remember, the melting temperature of chocolate is the same as body temperature, so this will happen naturally.) Then move the chocolate around in your mouth so it coats all of the surfaces of your tongue. Then take a sip of the wine or spirit. Swirl it around inside your mouth before swallowing. Notice the flavors, when you sense them and how long they linger.
