I discovered Bovetti chocolates on a recent trip to Montréal. The artisan chocolate originates from the Périgord region in France and is made from high quality pure cocoa butter. What makes the chocolate so tempting is that it comes with a wide range of exciting and innovative 'flavours'.
The chocolate bars come in dark, milk and white chocolate that have one side coated with anything from fennel seeds, banana chips, chili flakes, peppercorns, to my favourite... the ubiquitous caramel and Fleur de Sel. There's just something extra special about the Bovetti version that trumps other caramel salt chocolates. I think it may be the texture of little chewy pearls of caramel interspersed with crunchy salt crystals melting on you tongue. Whatever it was, it made me demolish three bars in four days. Ssshhh.
I was on holiday after all.
The caramel and fleur de sel combination DOES sound good! Where do I get me some of that...

I bought the Bovetti bars in a small sweet shop on Boulevarde Laurier. I am sorry, I have forgotten the name. The shop also sold coffee, teas, olive oils and that sort of thing. If I ever see them again, I will be sure to let you know.
