This Sunday, the three of us made the trip to Alain Ducasse on Coal Drops Yard near St Pancras. We all left convinced that not only their chocolate but also their displays and packaging and their staff are absolutely wonderful. We were able to try all the chocolates that we were interested in apart from the fourrée bars, which are a little messy, and the shop assistant (who was lovely) gave us great recommendations and told us all about the chocolate-making process. Marcolini could take the example of Alain Ducasse and let customers try the bars! We discovered non-conched chocolate, which means that the chocolate has a completely different texture, and the flavour (in my opinion) is more prominent. More on conching on our review. We also tried a 55% milk chocolate, which was the best I had ever tasted!
Forastero wants to add a little note for you: 'I tried an incredible Java Ganache, which I rated 10/10. Just amazing! Kind of lightly smoky, very melty with a passionfruit hint.' I highly recommend visiting this shop if you have the chance, as the experience promises to be memorable. The displays are stunning and do not undermine the chocolate, having a plain but sophisticated style. Best of all, you can try any bar you want, so that you can buy your absolute favourite and not run the risk having that little niggle of doubt when you leave. I highly recommend their 'fourrée' bars, which are all delicious, especially the passionfruit ganache and coconut praline one. A must go!
