We make good chocolate but we focus on milk chocolate as many of our clients prefer this type although the dark is more noble and tasty.

Hi Valerie.
Thanks for taking the time to write your comments. I am working on changing the info on the packaging before going to the final print. I have to say that that sort of thing is the hardest part for me, so I tend to procrastinate. Your packaging looks very nice by the way.
Also, my intention is to make the next batch of Ocumare at 70%, so that will make an interesting comparison to see if the sugar taste you mentioned is taken out. I have discovered that all sugar is not equal, and perhaps I need to do some more experimenting with that component as well. The sugar used in this batch was organic unprocessed cane sugar.
Thanks again, and good luck with your business.
Hal

Thanks! No storefront yet; my focus is on wholesale and the web. You can find some of my chocolates at Lionette's (a personal fave), Formaggio, and Serene Chocolates. I'm busy remodeling my "new" kitchen space at the moment, but I'm always happy to have visitors come by. It's at 75 Decatur St. in Arlington. It should be largely finished in the next two weeks; at the moment it looks more like a toolshed then a chocolate kitchen.

Valerie:

Thanks for joining The Chocolate Life. What kinds of filled chocolates do you make and what chocolates do you use to make them? Post photos if you have them. Have you visited any of the La Maison du Chocolat stores in Paris? I've been in the flagship store just off the Place Madeleine. They might be good here in the US but they're the best in Paris (come to think of it, most things are better in Paris!).
