JUDGES NOTES

FAVORITES

  • I especially liked the exotic Middle Eastern nuance from the rose petals in Deysia’s Rose Petal Truffle. Another favorite was Panache’s Creole Bourbon Foster with its hint of peppery spice on the finish. And my other favorite was Panache’s Lady Grey Latte, a lovely creamy tea combination.
  • Lulubee lemon + raspberry, Delysia, Panache, Chocopunto
  • The Chocopunto Blonde Chocolate was my favorite basic white chocolate. It tasted like dulce de leche in bar form. For flavored the Panache Chocolatier Garden Blackberry. Bright and packed with flavor without being overly ambitious with it's combinations.
  • STELLA'S Framboise
  • Delysia Chocolate Sampler: Herbed
  • Delysia Rose Petals and Delysia Expresso- tie
  • Panache Green Blackberry
  • I loved the Lady Grey Latte by Panache. The balance was spot on.
  • Panache Chocolatier Lady Grey Latte
  • Delysia, The Chocolate Fetish, Lulubee, Stella's and Yeti--all excellent products with a perfect taste and texture combination, freshness and satisfying mouthfeel

QUOTABLE COMMENTS FROM JUDGES

  • Love love love berry flavor profiles, lemon, banana flavor, coffee, blackberry…
  • Amazed by all the varieties. Delysia created great flavors that also showcased their white chocolate. Panache'sChocolatier Creole Bourbon Foster and Garden Blackberry were outstanding..
  • Delysia keep up the good work
  • The Panache Garden Blackberry and Lady Grey were melt in the mouth delicious. The texture, flavors and tastes were most impressive . Delysia's Rose Petals and Herbed were enticing and flavorful.
  • Overall, I found the Chocopunto to provide delicious flavor profiles. Chocofetish left me wanting more than a sample bite. Toute Douceur was trés delicieuse
  • Both entries from Lulubee were beautiful, delicious and bursting with flavor.
  • Thank you, Delysia, for unusual and creative ingredient combinations, like espresso and cardamom--dreamy!
  • Yeti elevated a humble carrot cake to a level of a royal dessert, good job! Lulubee knows its fillings--exquisite taste! The Chocolate Fetish lives up to its name, wonderfully masterful truffles!"

INDIVIDUAL JUDGES' RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHOCOLATIERS

  • There must be a range of tastes among powdered milks and lecithins … As chocolate maker, I would want to be sure that any I chose to use would improve taste, not detract from it.
  • The vegan/nondairy options had an off flavor that clashed and left an odd aftertaste. I've had excellent vegan chocolate in the past, but what I had here was lacking.
  • Fabulous white chocolate bars and truffles.. Great variety and flavors.
    not a huge fan on coconut but that is just a personal preference
  • Choosing white chocolate as a bar or a truffle style is a complex decision for a consumer. This competition had so many strong products.
  • I never would have thought to combine espresso with a traditional tea flavoring, but Panache Chocolatier’s Lady Grey Latte works!
  • I thoroughly enjoyed Coco Caramel bar by Mellow. Salty caramel with toasted coconut flakes and cocoa butter was a real delight! But what's with the packaging? We understand modest and understated, no objections to this concept, but even the most "natural" packaging can retain some elegance, no? If you look at the wrapping paper, this delicious and nicely done chocolate bar looks more like a piece of soap from an orphanage... I'm sure Mellow can do better!
