Amedei Toscano Black Cube

Here's a little treat to send you into the weekend. I'll be traveling and won't have internet access, so you'll have to wait til next week for more.
Teaser: I did go shopping tonight, and I have some very unusual flavors coming up next week DH was already trying to figure out if he could sneak chocolate out of the box before I reviewed it.

Amedei's Toscano Black Cube is a tiny box filled with 6 pieces of Amedei's 70% chocolate, their finest dark chocolate. This fistful of chocolate reminds me of Muhammed Ali: bold, dark and powerful. I'd much rather have this in my hand than a brass knuckle.

Amedei Toscano Red

Amedei is a dream which takes the shape of chocolate

So true.





Amedei's current slogan demonstrates how well they know their products, their customers, and how to meet the customers' needs.

Amedei Red is a treasure of a bar. Sliding the gold-wrapped bar out of its chic black box, you can feel the luxury. Hand-wrapped in heavy gold paper, you know it's going to be special. The aroma rises immediately, and suddenly you know how "dark" smells. It smells like Amedei Red.

The first bite. What is Red? Bursts of strawberries, cherries and raspberries, which complement one of the finest chocolates I've ever eaten.

Personality: Sexy as all get out

How to enjoy: To be enjoyed while viewing great art from Tuscany. If you can't get to Tuscany the next time you want a bite of chocolate, I recommend browsing either The Art Book, a compact book of famous paintings, or Sister Wendy's Story of Painting. Famous Tuscan artists include Michelangelo, Botticelli, and Artemisia Gentileschi.
