While exploring the chocolate boutique Ambre & Sucre on avenue des Gobelins in Paris, I came upon a dark chocolate called Lemon & Pepper. I purchased a tablet and took it home to taste.

The tablet has a matte finish and contains a minimum of 57% chocolate. To the taste, it has a light lemon flavor with a long, slightly hot, peppery finish. The chocolate melts slowly in the mouth and has little crunchy pepper granules, like grains of sand, that “tickle the tongue.”

This is one of the nicest flavored chocolates that we have tasted in a long time!

Ambre & Sucre is the sole distributor of Cachet brand chocolate in Paris.

We purchased a 100-gram tablet of Cachet brand dark chocolate from Uganda at the Ambre & Sucre chocolate boutique on avenue des Gobelins in Paris. The tablet is made from 80% forastero coco beans, the most common chocolate bean on the market. “Common” does not mean mediocre however, because the tablet gives off a wonderfully fragrant aroma of chocolate. It has a matte finish, is firm to the bite, and has a soft, almost silky texture in the mouth as it dissolves. Even though it contains 80% dark chocolate, the tablet does not taste bittersweet…just the pleasant, intense, earthy flavor of chocolate comes through!
