since 1887: swiss chocolates by frey

i have always been a fanatic for anything chocolate and i tend to not spare the expense when i see something that looks to be of high quality. recently while cruising the aisles of the emporium market at sukhumvit 24 i spied frey's saveur du chili. this is a bar of outstandingly smooth dark chocolate that has been infused with the kick of red chili. i have yet to try cooking with this unique product, but simply nibbling away at it is a treat.
if you are someone who doesn't mind a bit of zip, and tries to not eat too much chocolate when it is within grasp, then possibly this chocolate bar from frey is what you seek. i say this because i find it a bit over bearing to eat an entire bar at once. instead i chip away at it slowly over a period time. a little goes a long way.

i think if melted it would make a great dip for strawberries and bananas, and when incorporated into a mousse or cake frosting would add a layer of unexpected taste.

i recommend that you also browse the frey website as it is designed well and the flash presentation is quite good and interactive. it is in english, german and french, and there is also a good section of recipes too.

their bar with cinnamon and orange is also great.
