Garrigue is a French word that evokes the low brush, or scrubland, of the Provençal hillsides. The boxes for this collection are bright canary yellow, quite a change from the normally quite sedate brown packages.
The flavors are:
- Strong dark chocolate
- Almond paste from Provençal almonds
- Dark chocolate with lemon zest
- Rhone Valley apricot confit in milk chocolate
- Almond and hazelnut praline with olive oil and black olive
;)
Can you guess which I tasted? Actually, I went with the plain dark chocolate, since I’m not a big fan of fruit, let alone olives, in my chocolate. I think they’d make a nice gift for any Maison du Chocolat fans looking for something different, but as my clients know, you can never go wrong with a hatbox full of tried and true classics.
