Chocolate - North Food and Wine Tour

The Chocolate Winterfest in Latrobe each year is a lot of fun.  This year I had the pleasure of undertaking a Chocolate Masterclass with Igor at Anvers, one of the stops on my Food and Wine Tours.  It was a fantastic class and finally I have learnt how to temper chocolate. We were also lucky enough to sample a new chocolate that Igor is distributing in Australia (so far only in Tasmania but soon to hit the mainland).  It is the world’s rarest chocolate Pure Nacional from Peru (40% of white beans are used).  It will be marketed as Fortunato No. 4 and has a wonderful delicate flavour which gives an amazing mouth feel – something which is better enjoyed in its natural state rather than used as an ingredient or disguised with other flavours.
