Fear not that high quality, high cocoa solids chocolate is nowhere to be found. World Wide Chocolate is one online purveyor who will bring such Elysian delights to your house, your very abode as it were. They are an online business I recommend. I do business with them and have been very pleased with all transactions.
Right now, yea at this very moment, Callebaut Belgian dark chocolate batons boulangers are melting in my mouth, smooth as liquid black gold. This particular baking formulation has only 44% cocoa solids but I've got chocolate with 80% cocoa solids in the cabinet. HELL yeah I eat baking chocolate! And every sort of bonbon and confection, bakery item and savory dish containing Theobroma cacao that I can think up or find.
There may be some who consume greater quantities of chocolate than I do but I'll put my Theobroma cacao tastes up there with the biggest eaters any day.
Want to know why I don't eat Hershey's kisses? Scroll down to the blog entitled "The Sweet Life" and look for the entry dated Friday June 5, 2009. Read the comments. Yep, there's one from ME. I recommend The Bee Folks. They carry bulk and varietal honey, some nice beeswax products, and Lori had TRIPLET BOYS last Spring. They're good people to do business with. I go through a lot of honey. Lori sells half gallons, gallons, and even larger sizes as well as 8 oz and a couple of 4 oz sizes of premium honeys.
I hope to pull together some Theobroma cacao recipes and projects for the next article. Preview: That last swallow of
Chocolate is a Migraine trigger for some people. It appears it may have something to do with endothelial function and production of nitric oxide, which expands blood vessels. [Disclaimer: I have carefully recorded my physical responses to chocolate over the many years I've dealt with Migraine and found one correlation: The craving for chocolate is a sure sign that Migraine attacks are imminent. Eat chocolate, don't eat chocolate, no effect on whether attacks occur in me or their intensity.] Read this interesting article from--Hershey's--about some of the nice things chocolate does for people. The article includes citations but frankly, I'd consider Hershey's Chocolate an expert in chocolate in their own right. They're not my chocolatiers but I'll count on their information any day.
Eat high quality, high cocoa solids chocolate. And honey. Every day. The Sparkling Mother is glad it's good for you. :D
