Move over Brussels, come to Leeds for fresh hand-made chocolates under the Lauden label, so fresh they only have a 10 day shelf life. Sun (from Singapore) and Stephen created the company in 2007. Their delicious fruity flavours : Lychee and Rose, Sour Cherry, Passion fruit, to name a few, are illustrated with elegant transfers designed by Sun. Fresh fruit pulp is made into a Ganache and covered in dark chocolate.
So is this the new chocolate and wine matching ? Lime and lemon with Sauvignon Blanc, Mediterrean Orange with Sauternes, Raspberry and Rose with Saint Emilion, Blackcurrant and red currant with Cabernet? Works for me !
