Daily Olive Welcomes Kyeann Sayer to the Chocolate Section
My family still hides it from me, and with good reason. There was a time when I couldn't tolerate the notion of chocolate left uneaten. An unopened bar, lonely in the pantry (or hidden in my brother's backpack), meant a squandered opportunity. Six Pudding Pops stuck in the freezer? How cruel to leave them stranded! Dessert that didn't incorporate it? Not much point. If the average American consumes twelve pounds per year, I would wager that I doubled that amount more often than not.
As I grew, however, so did my tolerance for complexity and moderation (for the time being, two nibbles per day of the robust and biting Dagoba eclipse 87% sate me). Also, I have learned that like most pleasures, chocolate resonates more completely when shared and savored rather than hoarded and, well, pilfered. This is why the opportunity to write about it for Daily Olive readers thrills me.
From criollo beans to silk screening, flower essences to nibs, scones to sauces, Scharffen Berger to Puyricard to organic; there is much chocolate ground to cover! Please be sure to share your discoveries.
