We just received the most flattering review from Lee McCoy, the Anna Wintour of chocolate (the enthusiasm for London Fashion week mood is clearly a contagious thing! :)
Chocolate Reviews went through our just released Chocolate Spring Collection 2012 and explained it, chocolate after chocolate. We are so pleased and so excited by Lee McCoy's words!
Baruzzo Spring Chocolate Collection 2012 is a floral selection of chocolates designed to feel like a walk through the perfumes and flavours of an Italian garden.
The article from Lee McCoy on Chocolate Reviews:
Winter is turning into spring, the days are lengthening and the birds are finding their voice. Although seasonal cooking seems to be the preserve of fine dining restaurants, I always respond positively to chocolatiers bringing seasonal fruits, nuts and flavours into their creations. Every morning I lay there for an hour or so, tweeting away whilst my avian neighbours are doing the same with their own entertaining dawn chorus. I couldn’t help getting in to the spirit of things when the opportunity arose to review Baruzzo’s Spring Collection.

As an Italophile I revel in Italian culture, food and drink. I just adore the country and having travelled across it in my youth I found it to be a confusing, interesting, stimulating and most definitely the most inspirational nation I’ve ever the pleasure of visiting. So it’s great to have the opportunity to experience some more of Italy, if only vicariously through the wonderful medium of chocolate.
Raffaella was kind enough to send me a box containing nine of her new spring chocolates. It must be incredibly difficult to reinvent a season every year and even more so to differentiate yourself from other chocolatiers who are also launching similar collections. Interestingly the Baruzzo brand actively seeks to align themselves with couture dressmaking, which, in actual fact is more analogous than perhaps Raffaella may have realised, as obviously dressmakers also strive for the sense of exclusivity and rapture – which I believe every chocolatier should do.
