Expensive Chocolates

You have happened upon the best site for information on expensive chocolates. Who doesn’t like chocolate? I know I don’t! There aren’t a lot of people who admit they don’t appreciate the feel of smooth dark chocolate melting on your tongue and hitting every taste bud as it goes down your throat. This site is dedicated to chocolate, or rather, not simply chocolate, but expensive chocolates.

Everyone wonders, from time to time, what is the most expensive chocolate in the world? And who exactly produces the most expensive chocolate? Would it be Lindt, Knipschildt Chocolatier, Noka Chocolates, Godiva, Richart Chocolates, or Ghirardelli? To answer this let’s take a quick look a little bit at the history of chocolate making. Of course if you are too impatient and want to start buying chocolate you can visit the store here http://expensivechocolates.com/chocolate-store/.

The enjoyment of chocolate started in Mexico, Central and South America where the Mesoamericans enjoyed chocolate in the form of a hot chocolate drink. This would not have been exactly like the hot chocolate drinks produced today, as they did not sweeten the cacao bean as we do today until about the 1800’s.

The first Chocolate House opened in 1657, and at this point it was a luxurious treat that only the privileged could afford to buy. After the industrial revolution hit, it became easier to extract chocolate solids and use that to make the chocolate bars you see today.



During the Industrial revolution period, the Cadbury brothers, Henri Nestle, and Rodolphe Lindt also contributed to the advancement of chocolate making by developing the first chocolate bar, removing water content to reduce mildewing, and conching (which grinds cacao beans finely so liquid is evenly distributed) respectively. We surely appreciate their efforts by enjoying their contributions with every chocolate bar we eat. You will recognize the names as they are now familiar chocolate brands!

Today we have the very famous chocolatiers who want nothing more than to produce high quality chocolates. Good chocolatiers study the process of tasting chocolate, dipping items in chocolate, moulding chocolate, handmade chocolate preparation, and preparing chocolate for chocolate gifts( for box chocolate gifts you can buy visit our store http://expensivechocolates.com/chocolate-store/).

When it comes to gourmet chocolates though you want to know who is considered one of the five top companies. Certainly Knipschildt Chocolatier is at the highest level as a chocolatier company. They are based out of Norwalk, CT. They also produce the most expensive chocolate available, by the name of Chocopologie which retails for 2600$ US/lb.

The second most expensive chocolate is Nokas encore gift box which comes from Dallas, Tx and retails for 854$ US/lb. Third place goes to Delfee who charges 504$ US/lb for its 24K gold flakes and praline concoctions. Fourth place in the expensive chocolates is Richart who uses Venezuelan chocolate, said to be the best in the world, to charge 120$ US/lb for their heart shaped gift chocolates, and lastly in fifth place is the famous Godiva chocolates with its Godiva G. Collection at 117$ US/lb.

If you have tasted any of these companies less expensive products, then you know how fantastic those are, so imagine biting into a Chocopologie, which is probably about 173 times more expensive than any chocolate I have purchased, and tasting the absolute deliciousness of that dark chocolate truffle. I am making myself hungry just thinking about it!
