THE DARK SELECTION
"Australia has a wealth of unique native flavours I want to share with the world."
Chocolatier Yuki Nakamura
the
DARK
SELECTION
For me, dark chocolate has always held so much character. You can taste the type of cocao beans, where they were grown and how they were dried. Its wonderful bittersweet quality interacts with other ingredients in magical ways, often siting in a balanced tension with them. This complexity has inspired the Dark Selection. It embodies my passion for sharing exquisite chocolates and I truly hope you enjoy it.
Hazelnut
Honey
Manuka honey sits in a ganache surrounding a whole hazelnut. The soft and full flavours are perfectly balanced as they richly unfold across your senses.
Toasted Coconut
& Madagascar Dark
The sweet softness of coconut dances with the bitter tones of dark chocolate. The resulting flavour is full and in perfect balance.
Himalayan Salt
Caramel
An age old favourite, warm sweet caramel sits opposite a salty edge. As the dark chocolate melts, it unites the two flavours in a bittersweet symphony.​
Pistachio
& Marzipan
An old favourite, the richness of the marzipan is softened by pistachio and finished by the exquisite sharpness of the dark chocolate.
Vanilla
Macchiato
Roasted coffee beans and dark chocolate fill the mouth with whole and robust sensations, the delicious weight of which linger across the palate.
Japan
Cherry Blossom
A truly unique chocolate made from the petals of Japanese cherry blossoms whose warm mellow flavour cushions the singing notes of the dark chocolate's acidity.
Lemon
Mint
A hand-dipped chocolate in which unexpected and exquisite flavours emerge from the combination of fresh lemon and mint with dark chocolate.
Cardamom &
Orange
The rich tones of dark chocolate are intensified by cardamom spice. Atop this sit citrus notes from Grand Marnier. The flavours move to the back of the palate for a bittersweet finish.
Jasmine &
Orange Blossoms
A wonderfully playful flavour reminiscent of spring, the bergamot orange and jasmine swirl on the tongue in a rich ganache, set in a dark and slightly bitter chocolate.
Wood Berries
​An elegant chocolate in design and taste. Strawberries and raspberries give the ganache the flavour of the woods. It is set in a rich dark chocolate.
on the box
The artwork on the box is by Claire Ishino and represents Australia’s national flower, the Golden Wattle. Apart from stunning clusters of bright yellow flowers, wattles produce a sweet gum which can be sucked or chewed when warmed up and the bark is used to treat a variety of ailments. Some claim the national colours of Australia, green and gold, have their origins with this famous wattle.
