Chocolate and coffee…a match made in heaven!
In episode 94, Genny spoke about chocolate and coffee as one of her favourite combinations. She mentioned a few of the beverages and food combos such as a mocha latte, tiramisu, ice cream, chocolate covered coffee beans, and a mole sauce that is used in Mexican dishes!
She also spoke about the similarities between the two including the fact that they are both derived from tropical plants, are grown in the “bean belt”, and go through a fermentation and roasting process (although it’s slightly different for both). As well, both contain caffeine, offer health benefits in the form of anti-oxidants and flavonoids.
Genny also spoke about pairing chocolate and coffee. Similar to wine pairing, you can pair like with like such as a fruity coffee from Ethiopia with a fruity chocolate such as an African chocolate or a chocolate covered strawberry. You can also pair contrasting flavours such as a fruity coffee with a salty snack such as chocolate covered almonds.
Genny also mentioned an event that she organized called “The Everthing Chocolate Event” that showcased vendors offering different chocolate products. She mentioned adding coffee to the event and a possible event planned for April 2024!
