I buy them at Pavilions. Besides these they have a vanilla bean flavor which I haven't tried, and a red-boxed flavor which I'm forgetting the description of....

Can't you find them online?

This seems right up my alley, being a 'serious choco-holic' .... If they're not available on the web, I'll make certain I get some during my Swiss trip in June . Cheers, Filip
Nope. I tried! Can't find it online.

Not unless I want to spend 60 Euros on shipping for only a few bars! I'd spend 60 Euros for shipping maybe 60 bars, but not for sub-ten bars. Nice to know you're a serious choco-holic. We seem to have similar afflictions!
My 'sweet-tooth' is enormous x)

But I will say, the one confection I miraculously love even more than traditional chocolate is ice-cream in all its glorious varieties . Chocolate and ice-cream are, in my opinion, the only products in the world that can hardly ever fail to satisfy consum...
WOW! Good to know!

Hmm, I haven't had a great chocolate ice cream in a while... Hmm. I had a nice Earl Grey ice cream from Leeuwen's in New York City. Can't think of anything else that's been exceptoinal lately.
Hahaha,

I just bought pistachio ice cream from them yesterday , our taste buds are in fact highly alike! Cheers, Filip
Yes. Leeuwen has a nice Pistachio flavored ice cream...
By: patrick_y : March 14th, 2022-21:24
Their flavor of Pistachio is very pistachio-buttery (like peanut-buttery) compared to other brands that are more milky and creamy. A very strong pistachio flavor. That's my second flavor at Leeuwen's.
LoL, I sure did :D

Bought it last night at my local grocery store on Montana Avenue, it's a truly unique but totally low-key flavor that sits well after pretty much any savory meal . Very pleased I 'discovered' both of these from VL, I had not tried them in quite a long tim...

I'd like to see some cool French inspired flavors...
By: patrick_y : March 16th, 2022-04:47
Like Honey Lavender. I had a Lavende ice cream in San Francisco at Bi-Rite (a local ice cream parlour) that was so good. And I recall having a French Yogurt in Lavende flavor that was exemplary. Too bad I was traveling and wasn't ever able to find that fl...
That sounds superb,
By: InHavenPro : March 16th, 2022-05:08
I remember having something along those lines from one of the small-batch artisanal ice-cream makers, at one of the specialty grocers in LA.... Van Leeuwen, I just discovered, actually makes a decent enough 'portfolio' of interesting flavors, it doesn't s...
But on the website, they cost $12 a package, $6 at the store...
By: patrick_y : March 16th, 2022-18:42
So I'll just wait until I go to NYC and try the flavors not offered at the grocery store at their brick and mortar location in NYC. But with two Earl Greys in the freezer, plus a Pistachio flavored Gelato from a different brand, and fairly cool weather, I...
Next time you are in NYC, go to The Meadow in Nolita.

They carry 100+ different bars, some mainstream-ish and some not. I found it as I was looking for bars from Fossa, a Singaporean marker that has some really tasty and interesting bars. I don’t normally eat non dark (I am usually 80% +) but Fossa have a wh...
Oh! That sounds perfect!
By: patrick_y : March 14th, 2022-05:58
Ok. Definitely on my list! And that white chocolate with seaweed sounds very interesting!
Thank you!

I'll just have to find you the next time I'm in Switzerland! Shipping is a little risky. I can imagine the Customs agent just seizing all of my chocolate and eating it himself! I'd be heartbroken!
We will eat them when we visit Italy together!
By: patrick_y : March 14th, 2022-06:01
The Swiss converted me to eating a small piece of chocolate after each meal; breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Maybe I'd be better off adopting the Italian version, just eating one gigantic chocolate coffee drink once a day!
Indeed.

Check out Zak's Honestly, compares favorably with any chocolate I've had (and that's a lot!) from Belgium, Switzerland or Italy. Plus they're really nice people. Kent ...

I'm a bit of a dark chocolate enthusiast. I've regularly returned with a few pounds of the stuff from certain European cities. It was a relief when Laderach opened a location in NYC a few years ago. And there are other less expensive Swiss brands, includi...
Good to know!
By: patrick_y : March 14th, 2022-06:08
I've seen the Laderach store in mid-town. The NYC store is much more expensive than the 70 Euros a kilogram for Laderach in Europe. So I buy a lot when I'm in Europe. It's a pity that USA customs lets you come back with such little amount of money worth o...
Sounds like heaven!

Sounds like someone had a very nice day! Ahhh!
Indeed!
By: patrick_y : March 14th, 2022-21:20
Hmm... I'm not sure I've had a 2 or 3 star chocolate...
By: patrick_y : March 14th, 2022-06:15
I'll have to let you know! The Bernachon chocolate bar with the pistachio marzipan is definitely one that's very very nice. I definitely go out of my way to get it in Paris every time I'm in Paris. Bernachon is based in Marseille, but they have a dealer i...
Interesting! I'll keep an eye open for it
By: mkvc : March 14th, 2022-04:43
although I normally am a Valrhona-preferring individual. Recently got some Republica de Cacao 70% pastilles. Would recommend: the flavor is unusual, with a lot of personality.
You have excellent taste!
By: patrick_y : March 14th, 2022-06:15
Knowing you are quite the cook, I'm sure that those 70% pastilles are great! I always liked pastilles, since they're thin and they melt perfectly.
That looks good.
By: bsbg : March 14th, 2022-21:13
I know they sell a Lindt raspberry bar here in the states, but not this combination. Their 90% bar is our everyday chocolate.
Ahh! Very good!
By: patrick_y : March 14th, 2022-21:22
The 90% is very dark! Very healthy. I like it, but I want something that's got a bit more personality. I also wished Lindt would do single origin chocolates.
