I must have had a Bonnat bar in the past, but I sure can't remember. Time to experiment!

Was just thinking the same thing! Tell people it's a link that benefits you and they'll be even more likely to purchase, IMO.

I went for the Bonnat "Hacienda El Rosario." I pulled the trigger before I saw our collab piece (today), but there should be plenty more room for more! Baby goat steps here.

Bonnat is exquisite no matter where you buy it, bc it’s a Bonnat. They’re family owned. However overall the best craft chocolate is now being made here in the U.S. and Latin America. Europe has been sitting on its chocolate laurels a bit.

I'm willing to try out Bonnat chocolate bar, but I wonder... Does the quality in taste reduces if its imported to the USA? Would it be better to experience the richness of Bonnat chocolate in Colombia?

I have a cousin who lives in Switzerland and everytime she visits my family in the USA, she always gifts our family with chocolates from Switzerland. I cannot compare the richness in Swiss and Belgian chocolates compared to Nestle or Hershey's, but by far, I would eat Swiss chocolates any day (Fulfills a food-gasm and sensational brain stimulation of mine).

I like Gordon Clay. I too am not a selfie type of person either.

Learned a Japanese word in this article: Ikigai. I love to learn something new in any reading article. Feels refreshing in learning something new.
