Featured Chocolate Maker! Hogarth Chocolate, Based In New Zealand
Hogarth Chocolate, Chocolate Maker
Based in Nelson, New Zealand
Hogarth brings an element of comfort into fine chocolate. Their flavoured bars such as Gianduia (made with local New Zealand hazelnuts), Kumara (sweet potato crisp), Sarsaparilla, Buttered Toast & Sea Salt, or Maple Walnut are impeccable and not only satisfy your sense of flavour, but bring with them elements of calm and peacefulness. Cozy is another word that comes to mind with these bars. I’m sure that has to do with Karl’s finesse for combining flavours, but perhaps a bit of that New Zealand serenity also makes it into each bar.
The single origin bars are quite upfront and not shy to say hello. The Peru origin bar carries a well received and pronounced stone fruit flavour profile. Thankfully, Bean To Bar World makes these well-crafted bars available to you as well.
Here’s a tip: toast some sourdough bread half way in your toaster oven, place a couple squares of Hogarth’s Gianduia, and finish toasting until the edges of the chocolate just start to darken. That combination of sharp chewy bread, creamy nutty hazelnut, and silky chocolate join forces for a flavour experience like no other. It’s feels like you’re being hugged by a chocolate bar, it’s that good.
