THE AUSTRALIAN SELECTION
About
THE AUSTRALIAN SELECTION
Ever since making my home in Australia, I have been enchanted by its people and its land. In my mind, Australia is a truly special and unique place, and as a chocolatier I am interested in the relationship between my ingredients and the place they are grown in. The more I talked with people about the uniqueness of the native flora, the more I began to realise that this country has a wealth of native flavours just waiting to be re-explored and captured in gourmet chocolates.
Coastal Rosemary
& Jarrah Honey
The distinct sweetness of fresh Jarrah Honey lingers on the front of the palate as qualities of coastal rosemary and milk chocolate slowly develop into a full-bodied richness that leaves the impression of a summer morning.
Murray River
Pink Salt Caramel
The Murray River Region produces a pink salt with unique minerals. This salt has a delightful softness that balances wonderfully with fresh caramel.
Strawberry Gum
& Aniseed Myrtle
The subtle tones of strawberry gum swirl with a robust dark chocolate. As the character develops, eucalyptus notes come to the forefront followed by the soft flavours of aniseed myrtle.
Finger Lime
& Coconut
From Pemberton in the southwest of WA, this Australian finger lime produces an exquisitely clear citrus flavour which dances playfully through the full and nutty flavours of coconut and dark chocolate.
Roasted Wattleseed
& Macadamia Nut
The clean flavour of sweet Australian macadamia nuts is perfectly balanced against the earthy tenor of roasted wattle seeds and a dark chocolate ganache. This is a truly unique Australian flavour combination.
Davidson Plumb
& Chestnut
The Davidson plum has a crisp and delicate sourness that lingers on the tip of the tongue, producing a scintillating highlight to the full and bitter flavours of a dark chocolate ganache.
Quandong
& Blood Peach
Quandong gives the milk chocolate a slight bitterness and earthiness that underlies the warm fruity tones of blood peach. Together these create a soft flavour that melts across the whole palate.
Forest Mint
& Mango
Subtle hints of Australian forest mint sit atop floral and fruity tones of mango. They form a refreshing flavour that is perfectly complemented by bittersweet dark chocolate.
Riberry &
Spiced Orange
The full clovelike flavour of riberries combines with spices to add a perfect layer of warmth under the fruity mood of orange. As the flavours develop a slight tartness from riberries forms on the top of the palate to add a refreshing highlight.
Lemon Myrtle
& Eucalyptus
A rich chocolate ganache has been infused with accents of lemon myrtle and Eucalyptus. Combined with an earthy dark chocolate, these flavours speak of the Australian bush.
