mouth-watering!
Just found out about a chocolatier in Atlanta from an article in Town and Country (I receive this magazine thanks to my Nana! :) Here is a quote (the article was written by Alexandra Marshall): "Although most American producers buy ready-made slabs of chocolate, which they then mix and mold, [Kristen] Hard is one of the few chocolatiers who start with beans that she personally procures, and then roasts, grinds, tempers, and molds." I love the idea (obviously!) of buying coffee directly from farmers, roasting it, and then either selling it as whole bean coffee or brewing it for customers...i'm pretty sure that same general process translated to the chocolate industry would be alot harder, though! not necessarily the buying/roasting/grinding...but everything that comes afterwards! i just want to grind my product and pour hot water over it :) which isn't to say i wouldn't be interested in watching the chocolate process, too, i'm just fairly in awe of what this lady does! oh yes, the shop is called Cacao Atlanta and you can see/order their products online at cacaoatlanta.com. one of these days, i WILL spend 13.00 on a chocolate bar. just not today :(
