Cocoa uvaia bonbon

The Callebaut Beanology™ story inspired chef Bertrand Busquet to create a rugged, primitive-looking set of moulded chocolates that contain a balanced milk chocolate ganache with the sweet, slightly tart taste of uvalha fruit and just a hint of cocoa bitterness. The shells are moulded with dark chocolate with an intense cocoa flavour to temper the pronounced sweetness of the ganache a bit.
