The Vosges Haut-Chocolat mission is to create a luxury chocolate experience rooted in a sensory journey of bringing about awareness to indigenous cultures through the exploration of spices, herbs, roots, flowers, fruits, nuts, chocolate and the obscure. To ensure this, Owner/Chocolatier, Katrina Markoff, personally chooses every spice, flower and chocolate that is flown into their Chicago kitchen.

Katrina's Black Pearl chocolate bar is an exotic infusion of East meets West for your taste buds. Inhale warming ginger as menthol-nuanced wasabi cools. Sense the evolution of flavors in the mouth. Commence with ginger, followed by earthy cacao notes, mellow wasabi reminiscent of coriander, finishing with black sesame seeds, rich in nutty texture.

Ingredients: Ginger, wasabi, black sesame seeds, and dark chocolate. Gluten free and vegan. 55% cacao.

Comments about Black Pearl Exotic Candy Bar:

The Black Pearl bar is an excellent introduction to modern, unusually-flavored chocolates. It has a mild flavor and a sweet chocolate base, and despite the wasabi isn't at all scary. The flavor balance is good, but none of them are very strong; you can taste all of the ingredients, but chocolate is dominant. If you're looking for something a little different but don't want to take risks, this bar is a good choice.

However, if your tastes (like mine) run towards strong flavors and very dark chocolate, this bar is distinctly underwhelming. It's worth eating if you're offered some, but I'd rather make my own version with a darker base and two to three times the flavoring ingredients.
