Countryside morning
This fresh chocolate bonbon features traditional Greek countryside flavors. The creaminess of Zephyr 34% is combined with Greek yogurt, Keffir milk and sheep butter. The dairy notes are accompanied by Orange Blossom and a fresh Mandarin flavor, from a variety of mandarin, unique to Chios Island (Protected Geographical Indication), which is intense and very aromatic. A walnut and rice crunch adds an interesting texture, and the intensity is balanced by encasing everything in a chocolate shell, made with Tanzanie 75% chocolate.
This chocolate bonbon is created by taking in mind that tradition truly represents the steps we take to climb to our future. By keeping close to us what is best from our tradition, we make tomorrow more familiar and sweeter. We don’t need to change what is good, but we can always improve and optimize it for the future. So, by using chocolate once more, to bind together familiar flavors, we emphasize on the importance of it as an ingredient of #Tomorrow, an ingredient that brings us close to what we love.
For this creation the main flavor that nature provides comes from the island of Chios Mandarin (Nature side) and Yogurt, Keffir and of course chocolate represent the flavors our knowledge, experience and science have created (knowledge/science side).
As this bonbon is a fresh one, intended to be consumed in a few days, the ganache is made using a cold method, so that the probiotics-cultures of the yogurt and of keffir stay alive to offer their benefits to the consumer, giving this treat an additional functional role.
