World’s Most Expensive Chocolates

Ludicrous as it may seem, here’s some truly fascinating facts for you to savor as you reward yourself with your next bar of chocolate…

World’s most expensive chocolates

Chocolate may be an aprodisiac, but it is also a $$$moneymaker!
(according to Forbes Magazine)

You might enjoy knowing what Forbes Magazine considers to be the world’s most expensive and most likely, least affordable chocolates. Forbes featured a fascinating article on the poshest brands...ones that likely sprinkle gold dust into their cocoa…well, lots of it! So before you think of purchasing you might better find your gold so that you can afford to pursue a pound, or merely a trifle…(or should I say truffle)!

Knipschilt Chocolates certainly leads the bunch, when it comes to price. Featured top of the list by Forbes Magazine, it’s the CROWN JEWEL CONFECTION of the world: a striking $2600 per pound!

Obviously, this is the one special Truffle truly fit for Royalty...

Fritz Knipschildt, from Denmark, and Maitre Chocolatier, of Knipschildt Chocolatier (founded in 1999 and awarded top honors as one of 3 best chocolatiers in the world by Gourmet Magazine) created the 42-gram (1.5 ounce) gem of a confection. This ultra sweet indulgence is handcrafted using a dark, classic ganache.

The ganache is made using French Valrhona Chocolate blended with fresh cream that has been infused for 24 hours with the flavor of vanilla pods and pure Italian truffle oil.

The ganache is then shaped around a French Perigord Truffle, known also as French black truffle (this truffle alone costs up to $1,000 per pound-454 grams). Next it is dipped in a 70% cocao-rich French Valrhona dark chocolate, and is finally dusted in cocoa powder.

What really makes the "Madeleine" Truffle so exquisite is the time and energy that goes into it. The ganache, for example, must be whipped repeatedly to make it as soft and silky as possible, and then it must be chilled so that it’s easier to work with. It's a long and painstaking process, and for all its intensive labor…undoubtedly a labor of love…is revealed a flavor that is so ultimately tantalizing, each savory moment upon the palate, is worthy of every dime.

Each delicate truffle is ultimately packaged as if it were a jewel, placed within a silver jewelry box. Before which, the truffle is placed inside of a pouch similar to the ones diamonds are transported in. This pouch is, set inside its silver home, nestled comfortably within red satin, tied in edible sugar pearls, and adorned with a ribbon.

Added to each exquisite gift: a personal note from Fritz himself, that includes a number to let the buyer know that he is the proud owner of a limited edition jewel of a chocolate truffle.

Madeleine truffles are very, very special and cannot be ordered over the counter. To order one of these extravagant confections they must be special ordered about 2 weeks ahead of time.

Moving right along…

For a much less decadent, but still mightily expensive option (and also on Forbes most expensive list), the very upscale cacao beans used by fine chocolate artisan Chuao Chocolatier would still take a hefty bank roll to purchase.

The Cost: $79.00 per pound

Chuao Chocolatier, named after the cacao-producing region of Chuao, Venezuela, uses European techniques to make their Venezuelan chocolate. Only fresh ingredients are used, and absolutely no preservatives are allowed in these handmade chocolates. These chocolates are single origin in nature, in that they reflect the specific and very delicate nuances of the region where the bean is grown. This is because no beans from any other region are blended in to homogenize the flavor.

Despite the over-the-top prices for these specialty (special order) truffles within the Forbes featured lines, any of these high quality brands also feature unbelievable collections of tasteful, sophisticated and mighty succulent chocolates to give the one you care for… affordably.

Love,

michelle

What's a good black and white movie?

I find b&w films easier to watch than colour films, so I am always on the search for a good b&w film to watch.
Anyway I like Laurel and Hardy, Marx brothers, etc etc. I don't have a great liking for film noir (especially ones with Humphrey Bogart - I'm sorry but I just didn't like the Maltese Falcon), but immensely like German Expressionist films. My favourite directors are Hitchcock and Fritz Lang. I also like silent films.
Films I like: Sunset Boulevard, Night of the Hunter, M, Metropolis, Harvey, Mad Love, Psycho, The Man who Laughs, The Seventh Seal... as well as many others.

There are so many great black and white films. I began watching them as a very small child. Pre-code films tend to be my favorites. Those are films made between 1929 and mid-1934 before the Production Code went into effect. Those films tend to be more fun and risque. You could try any of the following films. I tried to concentrate on romantic comedies, comedies and romantic tragedies given your listed favorite genres. But, I also threw in a few others that I think are must sees. Hope you enjoy.
