Welcome to Day #2 of Chocolate and Flowers Theme Week. Happy Easter to all who celebrate.

Raspberry Rose

This beautiful red, shiny, domed confection held a blend of flavors that included bold dark chocolate, tart-sweet red raspberry and floral rose--all complementary, and echoing naturally occurring notes that can be found in cacao.

The outer dark chocolate shell was smooth in texture and relatively intense with a slight earth note. Inside was a layered ganache (filling) with a red raspberry fruit layer at the base that gently bloomed in my mouth. The touch of authentic rose flavor was lovely.

This balanced confection was not too sweet, allowing flavors to shine. Thank you.

Shekoh does not use preservatives, so enjoy while fresh and store these chocolates in a cool, dark place.

Persian Rose

This lovely heart-shaped confection was beautiful, from start to finish, a true gift for the senses. The appearance was elevated with a velvety soft red exterior (finish). (Note: be careful handling or plating these as this delicate finish may rub off easily.) 

This multi-layered chocolate had a faint, pleasing caramel note in the aroma. 

The outer (chocolate) shell surrounded a white chocolate ganache (filling) infused with beautiful and authentic rose flavor, topped with a raspberry-colored pate de fruit/gel layer. It was very good.

Shekoh does not use preservatives, so enjoy while fresh and store these chocolates in a cool, dark place.
