QUOTABLE COMMENTS FROM JUDGES

  • Chocolate Passion Miso. Unexpected pleasure, texture and strong miso flavor paired excellently with the chocolate!
  • Ticket key lime pie. A slice of key lime pie in a bite! "
  • The white chocolate in all of the Choco Punto bars was quite delicious and when they paired them with other flavors, the results were excellent.
  • Overall I was impressed with the quality of the entries this year. ChocoPunto in particular has continued to improve their chocolate and I thought all 3 of their entries were stellar.
  • Grupo Cima really had some outstanding flavors
  • Ticket Chocolate Key Lime Pie takes you to the Florida Keys! Yum. Delysia white chocolate elevates the flavors. Loved the Choco Punto Nibs de Cacao for the added crunch.
  • "A hugely pleasant surprise from Delysia--all their white chocolate creations are full of flavor, have wonderful aroma and texture, and not a hint of pepper--thank you for that! Your creativity in combining pistachios with coconut and rose petals or lavender with chai is very much appreciated!
  • ChocoPunto by Mabel brings wonderful notes of well-combined ingredients to the excellent texture of white chocolate! Nibs de Cacao is above and beyond any chocolate bar, dark or white; Pistachio and Chocolate Blanco are not far behind. Excellent job, please go on like this!
  • Ticket is great with a pronounced key lime pie taste and the creamiest texture, good job! "
  • First of all this was an excellent group with very few rated below 4. My favorite, the Delysia Raspberry Lemon Basil was mouth watering delicious. The Choco Punto 35% Nibs de Cacao was a brilliant combination of flavors each one making a strong imprint on my last buds. The Ticket Key Lime pie made me imagine having a piece of Key Lime Pie. The Painted Turtle strawberry bourbon had both flavors forward. The Miso Sesame had a collection of enticing flavors.

INDIVIDUAL JUDGES' RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHOCOLATIERS

  • Chocolate Punto. Very attractive packaging, the large 35% in particular eye catching. Regarding the pistachio bar, couldn’t really tell it was pistachio.
  • CocoPunto's White Chocolate with Cacao Nibs bar was a great bar: It was visually appealing with the dark nibs mixed into the white chocolate. The contrasting textures of smooth high quality white chocolate with crunchy nibs made it fun. And the taste started with a not too sweet, almost caramel flavor as the chocolate melted. Then it changed to a nutty cacao when I crunched on the nibs. Recommended.
  • They all showed a commitment to quality
  • Such diverse flavors and textures.. Wonderful!
  • "Panache is pure joy with interesting ingredient list in Blackberry Bourbon Brulee as well as my favorite Dragonfruit Passion Rose Truffle redolent of rose aroma.
  • Chocolats Passion came up with a miso sesame truffle, which is highly original with a bit salty and crunchy notes--delightful!
  • Painted Turtle Brown Butter Pecan Bourbon with a smoky note and creamy center--fantastic!"
