The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 11 September 2019 16 Comments

Ah, a little something for snack time. Aftelier's new Ginger Rose chocolate bar in collaboration with Areté Fine Chocolate. "We collaborated with renowned artisan perfumer Mandy Aftel to create this special bar. A divine marriage of our Belize Maya Mountain Chocolate and her 100% natural Turkish Rose and Indonesian Ginger Chef’s Essences. We spent almost four months working together to get the balance just right, and if you’re a fan of ginger we think you’ll agree that this bar is as close to perfection as you could hope to get." $15 at Aftelier.

      There’s a lavender one on the Arete site that looks good too.

    I ordered right away and got them last week. I will try them this weekend without any olfactory distractions.

      I considered it but was worried it was still too hot to mail chocolate. Yours arrived ok then?

        It came with a gel ice pack and the bars were fine.

          Ah, then I’m guessing there was a shipping charge.

            I don’t think I’ve ever gotten free shipping from Aftelier and I understand the need to charge it.

            I do too, I just hate paying shipping. I like it when companies just raise the price of the item and then don’t charge for shipping. It’s a personal problem, I know 🙂

    This sounds so good! I have ordered chocolate in warmer weather and the gel ice pack keeps everything just fine.

      Yes, I have too, but usually that means a charge for shipping and I’m pretty darned cheap 😉

    Thank you so much Robin for putting up my new chocolate bar. I have been eating it non-stop and love it! Arete makes some of my most favorite chocolate bars and it was so much fun to collaborate with them. We are hoping for another special flavor before the holidays. Shipping chocolate is something new for us. We didn’t want to add any complications or extra charges, so we are including the ice packs and insulation at no extra charge.
