Teuscher

Recently Updated6
Teuscher Chocolates of Switzerland has its origins in a small town in the Swiss Alps. This chocolate is approximately 70 years old.

Rumor has it that one fine day, on an impulse, one single, solitary, chocolate-maker decided to embark on a path that would make him one of the world's greatest chocolatiers...

Dolf Teuscher was his name, and he toiled and slaved over his stove, blending the world's finest most natural ingredients to produce his now famous chocolate recipes.

If you guessed Teuscher ranks No.1 on Top 10 chocolates in the world (An Ultimate Guide for Travellers published by National Geographic), you would have guessed right. What's even more interesting is that Valrhona ranks 4th and Godiva ranks 6th or 7th on that list. In light of this, saying that the chocolate here is exquisite in taste and texture, might be an understatement.

Apparently, these chocolates are prepared fresh in the kitchens of Zurich and flown directly to all stores in Europe, Canada, America and Asia.

The house specialty (and my favourite) is the Champagne Truffles. These Champagne Truffles have a Dom Perignon champagne cream center, surrounded by dark chocolate ganache, covered with milk chocolate and dusted with confectioner's sugar. Why I feel the truffles here are superior, is because of the quality and the increased amount of cocoa butter used, giving them a richness not found in other chocolates. I was told that these truffle centers are 'conched' longer, creating an incomparable smoothness.

Nothing satisfies the cravings of a "mum to be" as the hot chocolate from Teuscher. It reminds me of the silky smooth taste of European full cream milk, blended straight into thick cocoa powder, with no extra water added. Liquid, molten, pleasure-in-a-cup to soothe the anxious mind and calm the soul.. what more can one ask for.
