| Fritz Knipschildt and his line of delicious artisan fineChocolates |
Maitre Fritz Knipschildt educated me on the complex processes of developing fine chocolates from the cacoa bean on plantations around the world to the finished chocolates that sit in the beautiful boxes. Like fine wine chocolate has joined the ranks of connoisseur food, especially
rare dark chocolates that are combined with secret flavors that enhance the experience of
eating chocolate.
Fritz has created a book about chocolate which will soon be published by Wiley.
