EAT TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT : MACHIAVELLI CHOCOLATIER





Machiavelli Chocolatier


Filipinos are known to be as inventive as baptising a name for a child or a business name and Machiavelli Chocolatier is no exception. Although Italian Niccolo Machiavelli's writing were enraging to many Philosophers, Machiavelli Chocolatier's concoctions were engaging and downright addicting.



I have once said and will say it again that combining chocolates with Filipino and Asian fruits was ingenious. Raul Matias is a chocolatier visionary to come up with a marriage of two pleasurable eats - chocolates and Asia's well-loved fruits. And so, Machiavelli Chocolatier was born.

Prides that "Machiavelli is Eurasian," using European milk (white and dark chocolates), Matias infuses Asian flavors through blending some produce - purple yam (ube), jack fruit, muscovado sugar and jasmine tea with names such as Purple Yam Yum, Ivorie Jack, Negros Crunch and Jasmine Blossom respectively. I highly favored Ivorie Jack and Negros Crunch as it uses dark chocolates but is never bitter nor were the Asian flavors overpowering. It was simply a match made in chocolate heaven.


Take you pick at Machiavelli Chocolatier

If you haven't tasted Machiavelli Chocolatier, I suggest you head out to their store and buy a piece or a box. Hope you share what's your favorite Eurasian fusion!
