On last weekend’s visit to London, I wanted to check the Food department at Selfridges again, since I found a ‘godelicious’ collection of Amedei at this place recently. As expected the whole pile of the Italian Amedei luxury bars was gone (it would have been a shock if it were not), but what I found in place in the same small corner was even a superior surprise: Askinosie bars!
You never heard of them? No surprise, they are a US brand. Why did I get this fatal attraction? It’s the first time ever I find a US brand selling its artisan chocolate bars overseas, and as far as I know, it must be one of the first times ever in general. I found and bought the Soconusco bar of which I just heard via Shawn’s Askinosie Twitter account, and the Davao is surely also a bar to look forward to.
How different do they taste? Can’t tell you yet, I still have to taste them (and possibly compare with the Bonnat Xoconuzco), but will share with you soon
