The floral scent of lavender and the richness of imported Belgian dark chocolate are a match made in heaven. We use only natural lavender oil in the preparation of this confection, which introduces a slight astringency to the flavor profile. What better way to round off the sharper floral notes than with Madagascar vanilla - real vanilla - with soft shoulders to carry the floral notes and pair with the chocolate. (Our imported Belgian chocolates are all flavored with natural vanilla, by the way - so this is - should we say - a natural pairing!). The ganache is a dark chocolate butter ganache in the traditional French style.
(Lavender) Flowers also yield abundant nectar from which bees make a high-quality honey. Monofloral honey is produced primarily around the Mediterranean, and is marketed worldwide as a premium product.
Flowers can be candied and are sometimes used as cake decorations. Lavender flavors baked goods and desserts (it pairs especially well with chocolate), and is also used to make "lavender sugar". Lavender flowers are occasionally blended with black, green, or herbal tea, adding a fresh, relaxing scent and flavour.

Lavender Vanilla Tasting Notes: Beginning: Dark chocolate with the sense of light floral notes. Middle: The lavender ascends, married to the dark chocxolate, and softly rounded by the vanilla, which lingers in the background. Finish: Medium, the lavender slowly giving way to a rise of the vanilla in concert with the resurrection of the chocolate.
