Callisto —
This graceful
nymph of Greek legend may have been transformed by the angry gods into a
bear for daring to consort with Zeus, but her beauty reigns immortal,
illuminating the evening sky as the Great Bear constellation. The
sensory delight of one Callisto chocolate is similarly destined to
provide an infinite landscape of pleasure. At its heart is a
delectable gianduja of pistachio, almonds, and cocoa butter. A layer
of white agnate with a whisper of vanilla adds an aromatic kiss of mystery
to this confection, which is dipped in bittersweet chocolate and regally
crowned with a sliver of pistachio.

Daphne —
This naiad of Greek legend fled across a craggy Grecian landscape redolent
of sea-towering cliffs and ambrosial citrus to escape the love of Apollo,
preferring to be transformed into the aromatic laurel tree rather than
succumbing to an unwanted love. Daphne captures in one
delectable bite the tastes and temptations of that flight, combining the
mysterious floral essence of a Grecian countryside with the complex
flavors of marzipan, ginger, and pistachio, drenched in the romantic lure
of deeply dark chocolate and capped with a fragrant peel of citrus bathed
in the bittersweet regret of Cointreau®. |

Galatea —
The
sea nymph Galatea was coveted by the infamous Cyclops, of Odyssey
fame. Enamored of a young man named Acis, she defied the evil giant,
who, in a fit of rage, slew her young lover. Grief stricken, Galatea
transformed her lover’s lifeblood into the beautiful River Acis. A
fitting tribute to the transformative nature of eternal love, our
Galatea chocolate layers a raspberry pâtés de fruit, delicately
flavored with raspberry Chambord®,
with a hazelnut ganache blended with praline. The fruit and nut
layers are then submerged in a sea of milk chocolate, and crowned with a
crunch of carmelized hazelnuts. |

Pallas —
The
young naiad Pallas, playmate of the goddess Athena, was accidentally slain
by her beloved friend in a game of war. In an expression of grief
and loyalty, the goddess of wisdom joined the naiad’s name to her own,
calling herself, forever after, Pallas Athena. Our Pallas
chocolate honors these warrior comrades with the commingling of two
valiant flavors. Its filbert base is blended on one side with
ouzo-flavored milky chocolate, on the other, with a dense concentration of
dark espresso, laced with chocolate as bittersweet as the legend itself.
