What do we have here? Why, it’s the Stainer Peperoncino di espelette con ananas, of course. Why do you ask?
The Stainer company has a website circa 2002. This Tuscan company produces a lot of exotically flavored chocolates. Maybe you’re thinking you need some White Chocolate with Madras Curry? Saffron? Aloe and Black Currant? The possibilities are endless.
This is a lovely flavor combination. We’re talking, as the nicely designed wrapper tells us, a mix of pineapple and chili peppers. It starts slow, with the tropical taste of the pineapple, and then the heat slowly starts to increase…and increase. Yes, this definitely packs a punch. I have to admit the chocolate was only average, but the draw here is the flavor combination and I enjoyed having a square of this occasionally since it’s not something you eat all at once. It definitely woke me up when I would sample one in the morning.
