Nunu Chocolate Opens in Brooklyn

Small batch chocolate company Nunu has opened a flagship store on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. As reported last week by the blog Sweet Freak, CEO and CCO (Chief Chocolate Officer) Justine Pringle decided to create a central location to sell her truffles, caramels, chews, crushes, and barks. In time, she said on Tuesday, Pringle hopes to use the long, weathered table that occupies the center of the store for special events like chocolate tastings. She and her husband bought the table at the Brooklyn Flea, where they are vendors on the weekends. Nunu Chocolate also took part in last year’s Unfancy Food Show and is incorporated into Blue Marble Ice Cream for special flavors.

A box of chocolate covered graham crackers, which are new and aren’t on the company’s website menu yet, is $15. All the chocolates are handmade. Chocolate-covered salted caramels ($7 for 5), are finished with a pinch of Fleur de Sel. Nunu is open from 12 to 6, Tuesdays through Sundays.

I'll take a blind taste test, this stuff, Torres, and a Hershey bar. I bet I couldn't tell the Hershey bar apart from the other two.

Take the blind taste test. Everyone says they will, but spend very few bucks with someone and do it very slowly. You will be surprised. But, if you can't tell the difference between the good stuff and Cadbury, then I feel sorry for you. Many for the common brands take out the valuable cocoa butter and replace it with cheap substitutes. It's not like wine: You don't have to spend a fortune for quality.
