| - My wonderful fiancé bought me a box of handcrafted chocolate at this place, all dark chocolate, just how I like it. I started with the biggest piece, a huge bear paw that had cashew nuts on top. Nibbling off the nuts I stopped, turned slightly green and spit out the nuts. Yuk! Imagine you eat cashews that have been lying around for 5-10 years, that's pretty much what it tasted like. Sorry that I am writing this, but it really wasn't good.
But, I am not the kind of person that easily throws out food, especially if it is chocolate. So I tried almost all the other pieces, very carefully, and I ended up throwing out about 85% of it. Most of the pieces just tasted old, especially the ones containing nuts. A few were okay. The fillings were way too sweet for my taste, but that is my personal opinion, others probably like it that sweet. If there wouldn't have been so many pieces that tasted like their eat-by date was some time ago, I'd say this chocolate is just not my taste, too bad for me. But this was obviously very poor quality that shouldn't be sold to customers, especially not at this price.
As I didn't want this to happen to other customers I wrote them an email, to give them feedback about my experience. After some time I heard back from them and they were very nice. They also said they checked all the chocolate they have on shelf. That's why they still deserve 3 stars. I am sure they have lots of other wonderful things at their store.
