Chocolate Mint Day
"It is the destiny of mint to be crushed."
~ Waverley Lewis Root (1903-1982)
Chocolatiers and chocolate lovers, take note! This rich, chocolatey tartan - infused with just a hint of mint - is a dream come true for those who adore the decadent layers of dark and milk chocolate. The pairing of chocolate and mint has long fascinated chocolatiers, with each combination offering a unique sensory experience. Whether crafted with milk, dark, or white chocolate, and flavored with peppermint, spearmint, or crème de menthe (made from Corsican mint), every blend has its own distinctive fragrance and taste.
The mint family, which includes basil, thyme, lavender, lemon balm, rosemary, marjoram, and oregano, has a storied history in both culinary and medicinal traditions. Certain aromatic mint varieties are prized for their intriguing scents, which can carry hints of pineapple, grapefruit, apple, ginger. and even chocolate! While some people detect only the familiar coolness of spearmint, others perceive unmistakable chocolate notes, so rich and indulgent that they evoke memories of Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies or Andes Mints.
Imagine receiving a box of exquisite chocolates from someone adorned in this irresistibly delicious tartan. Simply irresistible! 🤎 💚 🤎 💚 🍫 🍫 🍫 🌱
By designer Carol A.L. Martin, and inspired by a chocolate mint, this tartan explores the colour depth of chocolate flavours, with just a "hint o' mint."
