Well the weather outside...It's time to stay inside near the fireplace with your favourite book and a nice cup of tea. And when you look up from your book, you take a little piece of this wonderful dark chocolate with the addition of warm, aromatic cardamom. @kakaobolaget For this chocolate the cocoa beans from the Dominican Republic is used. Öko-Caribe is a well established fermentary in the Duarte province and maintains close relationships with its 165 farmers through technical training, in agronomic practices and organic certification. The thought alone warms you from the inside. Have a nice weekend all! #fortheloveofchocolate . . . . . #beantobar #okocaribe #cardamom #fireplace #chocolate #craftchocolate #cacao #chocolatemaker #cocoa #artisanchocolate #directtrade #vegan #chocolatelover #paleofriendly #singleorigin #darkchocolate #organic #beantobarchocolate #fairtrade #thehague #denhaag #vruchtenbuurt #mient #limoenhof #thechocolateshop #thechocolateshopnl #booklover #chocolovers

There's some truths 'hidden' in this picture. For instance that fine wine and chocolates go very well together! Especially this Vietnam from @krakchocolade A very special two ingredient bar with spicy notes and a creamy feel. It has the signature Mark Schimmel texture in the chocolate which makes it an instant favourite. Whether to pair with white or red wine? Come join us this Sunday and find out 😋 . . . . . #foodpairing #wine #winelover #winetasting #wijnspijs #beantobar #chocolate #craftchocolate #cacao #chocolatemaker #cocoa #artisanchocolate #directtrade #rawchocolate #chocolatelover #singleorigin #raw #darkchocolate #organic #beantobarchocolate #fairtrade #thehague #denhaag #vruchtenbuurt #mient #limoenhof #thechocolateshop #thechocolateshopnl #sommelier #fotheloveofchocolate

One of the nice things to start off the new week, is to remember how good the weekend was. (seems ages ago) But, we were fortunate enough to have had this baby in just in time. This is a delicious white chocolate with Cardamom and elements of peanut, caramel and seasalt from @krakchocolade The peanut flavour is well balanced out by the fresh cardamom and seasalt. And because the weekend had started for us, we paired this with a nice local beer from @eiber_denhaag You should try this ! . . . . . #beantobar #chocolate #craftchocolate #cacao #chocolatemaker #cocoa #artisanchocolate #directtrade #chocolatelover #paleofriendly #singleorigin #darkchocolate #organic #beantobarchocolate #fairtrade #whitechocolate #cardamom #peanut #caramel #seasalt #beer #localfood #thehague #denhaag #vruchtenbuurt #mient #limoenhof #thechocolateshop #thechocolateshopnl #fotheloveofchocolate

Warm feelings when we think back to our trip to Salon du Chocolate in Paris just a few weeks ago. Seems like ages. We had the chance to get our hands on these beauties from @marouchocolate Cacao Nibs, Cacao Powder and Cacao Spread from Vietnam. Hands down the most impressive graphic design and visual identity in craft chocolate. And their damn tasty! Get ready for your holiday presents. For the love of chocolate . . . . . #beantobar #chocolate #craftchocolate #cacao #chocolatemaker #cocoa #artisanchocolate #directtrade #vegan #rawchocolate #rawmagic #chocolatelover #paleofriendly #singleorigin #darkchocolate #organic #beantobarchocolate #fairtrade #vietnam #ricecreative #alaventure #thehague #denhaag #vruchtenbuurt #mient #limoenhof #thechocolateshop #thechocolateshopnl #realchoc #fotheloveofchocolate

The weather over here is what you'd expect. It's rainy, windy and the temperature feels like it is fall. As it should be. Just as having comfort food like this awardwinning Lakrits with Calabrian licorice (Amarelli) from @kakaobolaget It's a dark milk chocolate with creamy notes of nuts, honey and caramel. This bar has been awarded with Silver medal in World Finals - International Chocolate Awards 2018. As if we need an excuse for that! 😋 . . . . . #beantobar #chocolate #craftchocolate #cacao #chocolatemaker #cocoa #artisanchocolate #directtrade #chocolatelover #paleofriendly #paleo #singleorigin #darkchocolate #organic #beantobarchocolate #fairtrade #licorice #awardwinning #silvermedal #internationalchocolateawards #thehague #denhaag #vruchtenbuurt #mient #limoenhof #thechocolateshop #thechocolateshopnl #realchoc #fotheloveofchocolate

The fabulous people behind @foodaholicsnl Michella and Dennis published a really nice article on @mark_schimmel_krak from @krakchocolade He is one of the unsung heroes in Dutch Craft Chocolate making and well known for his special approach to get the most out of the several high quality single origins he uses. And then we are talking about every single one of them. Thus we would like to put this award winning Hibiscus/Vanilla in the spotlight. It's a white chocolate with a purple colour from the hibiscus with some hints of proper vanilla which makes this an excellent combination chocolate bar to savour. Silver Winner European 2018 of the International Chocolate Awards ❤️ . . . . #beantobar #chocolate #craftchocolate #cacao #chocolatemaker #cocoa #artisanchocolate #directtrade #vegan #chocolatelover #paleofriendly #singleorigin #darkchocolate #organic #beantobarchocolate #savour #cosy #internationalchocolateawards #fairtrade #hibiscus #vanilla #thehague #denhaag #vruchtenbuurt #mient #limoenhof #thechocolateshop #thechocolateshopnl #realchoc #fotheloveofchocolate

This is our infamous Hot Chocolate! Organic, fair trade and delicious as..., you know 😜 Now we've made this one, a vegan special. It's made from a Tanzanian origin with Coconut Milk. Smooth, Silky, maybe even a sexy feel to it. Imagine those good old 'Bounty' commercials with white beaches on tropical islands and a beautiful woman in bikini bathing in the sun... Now fastforward to a cosy fireplace and keeping this damn Hot Chocolate all for yourself, when it's cold and snowing outside. Hmmm 😋 To get the Hot Chocolate Season going, we introduce our Hot Chocolate Friday with a nice fire basket in front of our shop. Bring your friends and enjoy some good acoustic campfire music. We start this friday Nov.30th at 16:00 and have some nice Hot Chocolate origins from Congo, Tanzania, Ecuador and Peru. Topped off with your regular cowmilk or vegan alternatives like soy, oatly or coconut milk. (And maybe a spiked version here or there...) Jingle all the way ! . . . #beantobar #chocolate #craftchocolate #cacao #chocolatemaker #cocoa #artisanchocolate #directtrade #vegan #chocolatelover #singleorigin #raw #darkchocolate #organic #fairtrade #veganchocolate #hotchocolate #campfire #folkmusic #friyay #thehague #denhaag #vruchtenbuurt #mient #limoenhof #thechocolateshop #thechocolateshopnl #realchoc #fotheloveofchocolate #marshmallow
