Port &
Chocolate
We give you a sugestion combination of Port and chocolate. Port types can give you an even more idea of what tastes like with it. Note that everything is of course about your personal experience and what you taste, after all, a taste experience is personal to everyone and is more of a tool to give you an idea. Experience the flavors of Shocolata tasste-box Port and chocolate. We wish you a lot of tasting pleasure.
Trial in three steps:
- Smell your glass with your drink, take a sip and let it pass through your mouth. What are you tasting? Have a piece of chocolate.
- Smell the chocolate (what do you smell?). Feel the structure of the chocolate. Take a bite of the chocolate. Let the chocolate melt and pass through your mouth. What do you try now? Now take another sip of your drink and taste the effect of the chocolate taste.
- The taste is different due to the combination of these two elements.
Don’t forget to take regular sips of water in between to neutralize your taste!
Compare this to your fellow tasters, the taste may be different for everyone. There is no right or wrong!
