Boston Canada Travel

If you haven’t yet discovered this amazing chocolate boutique, here’s your chance! Hotel Chocolat is celebrating it’s two-year anniversary in Boston with an all-day celebration and tasting on Sat. Nov. 12th. Take 10% off all purchases of $50 or more, enjoy samples of their dark or milk chocolate solids, or their signature Liquid Chocolat and enter to win a raffle of gourmet savory cacao goodies in a lovely gift basket.

What I like the most about Hotel Chocolat is that it’s the best chocolate in Boston, in my opinion.They follow the European method using more cocoa and less sugar, resulting in a dark chocolate that isn’t bitter with no aftertaste. Plus, the quality of their cocoa itself is unsurpassed, due in part to the exceptional control they are able to maintain over the entire production process, which is game-changing for the global cocoa market.

However, they carry their unique vision one step further. by using socially responsible production methods. They even went as far as buying their own chocolate farm in St. Lucia to ensure the workers were fairly paid! And starting this coming December, visitors can see for themselves their unique vision and participate in their socially responsible mission with their completion of a luxury hotel at the Rabot Estate in St. Lucia. With six cocoa pods complete, and eight more in the works, you can enjoy the luxury of paradise while helping to sustainably farm cocoa.

At the resort, you can also experience Hotel Chocolat’s innovation at the Boucan Restaurant. While the rest of the world uses cacao very often in savory dishes like molé, now you can enjoy the Hotel’s own version, like local Dorado fillet on a bed of creamed leeks, with red wine and cacao sauce. Any way you look at it, everything is coming up chocolate at  Hotel Chocolat!

Hotel Chocolat’s success is spreading fast. A resort is soon opening to complete the St. Lucia experience, and Hotel Chocolat is opening up a 2nd US store in New York. Now when you buy their chocolate, you’re also buying their dream, ethical cocoa farming!
