Gourmet Chocolate

Gourmet chocolate Israeli style

Max Brenner, otherwise known as "The Bald Man" is well-known and very popular in Israel, the UK, and Australia- but has yet to make a strong impression on the American market. His chocolate products are of the highest quality and are recognized as such by the gourmet chocolate industry. The upscale London department store, Harrod's, even created the world's first chocolate bar around the Max Brenner name. There they serve a variety of his gourmet chocolate creations, including fondue and his world-famous chocolate drinks.

If you have not heard the name it is definitely worth a try. Max Brenner has a delectable line of the highest quality gourmet chocolate. One of their most popular specialties that are featured at Harrod's in particular is the range of chocolate drinks. They are available hot or cold and the combinations are imaginative and delicious. For a cold drink you might try a toffee ice cream choci-shake, which is a dark, milky concoction thick with soft toffee. If the weather if frosty go for a hot Venezuela milk chocolate with fragrant hints of hazelnut and vanilla.

Tins of the chocolate for making drinks at home is also available for purchase. To go along with the hot chocolate at home a special cup was developed by Max Brenner with a metal straw-spoon that you use to sip the rich, thick hot chocolate. The chocolate will stay hot with a tea candle lit from the bottom of the cup!

Gifts galore

in addition to the drinks Max Brenner has a full line of gourmet chocolate goodies. There are over 18 varieties of praline filled with whatever your palate desires. Milk chocolate squares filled with caramel praline and roasted coconut, caramelised pecans rolled in fine cocoa pwder, Javanese coffee beans rolled in white chocolate and cinnamon, bittersweet chocolate discs with roasted cocoa bean pieces. And the list goes on and on.

They all come in unique and artistic tins that would look great on the shelf after you've enjoyed the contents. There is even a tin that included delicately dried roses inside. And, Max Brenner gourmet chocolate is certified kosher in Israel by the Nazareth Rabbinate.
